The Empire of Empire of a Million Suns is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Eternal God Emperor with an iron fist, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, infamous sell-swords, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 11.845 billion Flesh Units are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Education are also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eternal Spire. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Imperial economy, worth a remarkable 4,652 trillion Aforgomons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an amazing 392,819 Aforgomons, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,791,792 per year while the poor average 52,549, a ratio of 34.1 to 1.

Crossword puzzles have been co-opted as a symbol of racial discrimination, the government has officially clarified that "wee on your hands to save time" does not count as proper hygiene, directors of low-budget sci-fi films are flocking to use Eternal Spire as a backdrop, and unpopular politicians are often caught between a rock and a hard place. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Empire of a Million Suns's national animal is the Nathrezim, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Empire of a Million Suns is ranked 1,546^th in the world and 32^nd in the West Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 878.9 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
