The Empire of The Eternal Ascendancy is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Empress Natsuko Aokita with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, sprawling nuclear power plants, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 8.94 billion Eternalists 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, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Healthcare, Law & Order, and Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Imperial City. The average income tax rate is 75.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Eternalist economy, worth a remarkable 1,215 trillion Eternal Credits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 136,003 Eternal Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The new national campaign exhorts men to "Show Some Class - Don't Sit On Your Ass", Empress Natsuko Aokita has no checks and balances after the upper house was abolished, elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume, and running away is an essential part of the elite forces' hand-to-hand training. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Eternal Ascendancy's national animal is the phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

The Eternal Ascendancy is ranked 136,795th in the world and 308th in Europe for Most Stationary, with 226.9993686092 days.
