The Imperial States of Awebec is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Lord High King Loki with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and frequent executions. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 2.327 billion Awebecians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Imperial City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.7%.

The very strong Awebecian economy, worth 144 trillion impercreds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Basket Weaving, and Retail. Average income is 61,967 impercreds, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 268,696 per year while the poor average 9,072, a ratio of 29.6 to 1.

Hit TV show 'The eXecution Factor' is a critical success, diplomats agree to the terms and conditions of peace treaties without reading them, families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, and escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Awebec's national animal is the giraffe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is episcopalian.

Awebec is ranked 39,185^th in the world and 82^nd in The League for Nicest Citizens, with 18.66 average smiles per day.
