The Interdimensional Domain of Particle is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by necromancer with an iron fist, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, anti-smoking policies, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 19.759 billion horde 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 medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of 不死. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient evil economy, worth an astonishing 17,758 trillion hugs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 898,755 hugs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Getting an autograph has become harder than ever, Necromancer's media campaigns take a hiatus around exam week, the words 'private' and 'enterprise' must never appear in the same sentence, and there is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality. Crime is totally unknown. Particle's national animal is the darkness, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is magic.

Particle is ranked 36^th in the world and 1^st in Yggdrasil for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 1,955.93 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
