The People's Republic of Enlightened Individuals is a tiny, genial nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 7 million Enlightened Individualsians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 67.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The struggling Enlightened Individualsian economy, worth 147 billion Debtons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 21,012 Debtons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Voting is voluntary, meat-eating is frowned upon, all recreational drugs are legal, and same-sex marriages are increasingly common. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Enlightened Individuals's national animal is the Crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Enlightened Individuals is ranked 296,776th in the world and 3,886th in the South Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 45.51 on the Human Development Index.
