The Empire of Larich Empire is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Emperor Sclavus with an iron fist, and notable for its national health service, fear of technology, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 8.435 billion citizens are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Imperial City. The average income tax rate is 95.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Tamrielic economy, worth a remarkable 1,178 trillion drakes a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 139,657 drakes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Leisure is a crime in ski towns, military equipment is being auctioned off to extend comatose centenarians' lives, sick citizens are hair today and gone tomorrow, and crossbow bolts fill the skies if so much as a sparrow flies overhead. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Larich Empire's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Nine Divines.

Larich Empire is ranked 2,425^th in the world and 1^st in United Realms for Most Cultured, scoring 240 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
