The United Kingdom of Imperia Republic is a very large, efficient nation, renowned for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 108 million Imperia Republicians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 11.2%.

The very strong Imperia Republician economy, worth 5.43 trillion Gold Cubes a year, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 50,293 Gold Cubes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Women don't report crimes to the emergency services for fear of being arrested, a life spent suffering in silence is considered noble, the government now pays the "Really Awesome Super Heroes" (RASH) to catch evildoers, and newspapers and TV broadcasters are given a list of 'acceptable words'. Crime is moderate. Imperia Republic's national animal is the Hanaxtapotomus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Imperia Republic is ranked 190,165^th in the world and 644^th in Concord for Safest, scoring 48.32 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
