The Novum Imperium of Greater Alpha is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Regens Imperialis Zecharias Halvarus with an iron fist, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, public floggings, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 15.414 billion Imperials are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Industry, and Healthcare also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sacrum Terra. The average income tax rate is 92.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Imperial economy, worth a remarkable 2,396 trillion Imperial Credits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 155,452 Imperial Credits, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

A rusted hulk in Sacrum Terra harbour has been voted the worst eyesore in Grand Imperium of a Thousand Realms, the government has pinkie-promised never to use its veto power except in an emergency, friendly fire incidents usually result in severe burns, and people believe that if you teach a man to fish he won't buy fish from you any more. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Greater Alpha's national animal is the Imperial Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cult Imperialis.

Greater Alpha is ranked 9,807^th in the world and 2^nd in Grand Imperium of a Thousand Realms for Most Cultured, scoring 115 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
