Nation Type: Territorial Empire, though her cities more closely resemble Megacities.
Capital City: Sophia
Government Type: Technocracy
Head of State: Arch-Fabricant Emperor Petor Habsburg
Claimed Territory: Antarctica
State/National Religion: None.
Dominant Religion: Lutheran Christianity.
Minority Religion(s): Roman Catholicism, Protestantism, Hindu faiths, Islam
Population: 42 million citizens grace the shores of the Empire-in-Exile, and 3 million non-citizens also live in the Empire.
Cloning?: Cloning is both widespread and encouraged by the Empire, with a twist; genejacks, as they are often called, are not pure clones, but genetic splice children of up to a dozen parents, with their alleles chosen for fitness. Indeed, immigration is often only allowed on the basis of genetic diversity, or truly extraordinary capabilities in a subject area.
Military Organization: The military of the Empire-in-Exile is composed of both organics, natural and clone, and robotics, though the latter predominate. The general command structure relies on organics commanding platoons of robotics to make up for the paucity of manpower that the Empire-in-Exile faces, and the majority of vehicles and vessels of the Empire-in-Exile are heavily automated. The branches of the EiE's military forces are as one would expect, composing the Aerospace Fleets, the Maritime Forces, and the Imperial Armies.
Military Size: Only a mere two hundred thousands in terms of organics serve the Arch-Fabricant and bear the black and silver of his raiment, but in terms of what could be called manpower the Imperial Armies number some three million robotics of highly varied makes and models.
Fleet Size: The Maritime Forces compose some two hundred and sixty vessels, forty of which could be classified as mainline combat vessels, the rest of various makes and models.
Air-force Size: The Aerospace Fleets are the pride and joy of the EiE; specially engineered to deal with the harsh conditions at the bottom of the world and many years ahead of commensurate militaries, the AF fields predominantly unmanned craft, most piloted from the safety of Basrs, or fully AI controlled. Almost all vessels have slight extra-atmospheric capabilities, and vary from car sized patrol craft to immense battleship scale surveillance citadels.
Space Fleet Size: The AF has used the EMS Perihav to launch many satellites beyond earth orbit, mapping much of the asteroid belt and near solar system in depth. Knowing man's future lies in the stars, extensive undersea drilling for helium has allowed the creation of altitude booster platforms for space launch; nearly fifty satellites, four armed, bear the EiE insignia in orbit. Twelve space stations do so as well, as do two low Moon orbit monstrosities. The brain trust of the Empire has led to rocketry tech at a page with most of the world, but all current space vessels are merely dolled up AF vessels, except for one new experimental military spaceplane.
National Flag: Look left.
Primary Culture: American
Accepted Cultures: None, really. The EiE is a purely synthesized culture, and as such has no real cultural ties either for or against cultural subsets.
Other Cultures: Not applicable.
Primary Import(s): Copper, luxury foodstuffs, silicon.
Primary Export(s): Machinery, AI cores, metals, food.
Brief (Paragraph) Description of your nation's history since the 2020s: Fusion power was the birth mother of the Empire-in-Exile, robotics her nursemaid. As the world collapsed during the riots, many nuclear military units and visionaries looked south for hope. A genius, calling himself Petor Habsburg, supposedly of a lost line of the ancient monarchs, had been the first man to perfect a small high-efficiency fusion reactor. He took this secret south with him as the oil crisis worsened, and using the power it provided him and recruiting disaffected elites from the many nations of the world, forged a new society upon the coasts of the Frozen Continent. Those with wealth, power, fled the chaos and anarchy of the falling world; as this new entity grew it actively recruited skilled minds and immigrants from across the world, massive fortress cities forged of ice and the untapped minerals of the continent. But the vast energy and minds of the EiE had a problem; labor. Who would work the dirty jobs, build the wondrous designs? Robots, robots were the answer. The leader in the field due to their acute need, the EiE did not breed their underclass but rather built it. With the muscle they needed and the world's governments far more concerned with the collapse of civilization, the EiE slowly asserted complete control over the continent, attracting more men and women to the light they held in the gathering darkness. The nuclear deterrent of the many nuclear-armed submarines that had defected to them held back the warlords of the new world, and as the new states began to rise too the Astral Empire's vast manufacturing base, immense resources, and formidable minds stand at the gleaming forefront of man's new future.

Ah, Genetic altered Polynesians, Hindu and Whites, meeting genetically altered 'Americans'
Americans in the sense "fuck, composed of world" in ethnic terms
Ah, and I notice Kraken has been drilling in Antarctica. I'll say that was with some EiE firms, to be fair.
