The Empire of Imperial Saber is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Lex with an even hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 8.179 billion Imperial Saberians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Industry, Healthcare, and Environment also on the agenda, while Defense and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lexia. The average income tax rate is 78.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Imperial Saberian economy, worth a remarkable 1,736 trillion Sabers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. Average income is an amazing 212,309 Sabers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is mandatory to learn evolution in schools, patriotic citizens simply tend to applaud rather than sing the nation's praises, nature reserves often contain artificial waterfalls and concrete paths, and cremation is compulsory for the deceased. Crime is totally unknown. Imperial Saber's national animal is the Saber of the Mountain, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Imperial Saber is ranked 293,896^th in the world and 11,323^rd in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring -30 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
