The Sublime Empire of The Free United Worlds is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Sublime Emperor Michail I Vechlya with an iron fist, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, enslaved workforce, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 6.562 billion Imperials have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Babylon. The average income tax rate is 67.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Imperial economy, worth a remarkable 1,317 trillion Imperial Credits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 200,829 Imperial Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The "daily grind" consists of levelling up in tedious video games, funeral directors are frequently looking at their watches during funerals, fixing attendance at women's matches is a matter of "when they go low, we go high... funding", and wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Free United Worlds's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Atheism.

The Free United Worlds is ranked 24,037^th in the world and 63^rd in Spiritus for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 2,030.35 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
