The Republic of Impeck is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, complete lack of prisons, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.855 billion Impeckans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ligul. The average income tax rate is 70.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Impeckian economy, worth 545 trillion rubles a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 93,155 rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Psychiatrists bizarrely accompany Leader to meetings with foreign heads of state, dog owners proudly declare that their pups can predict when the mailman will arrive, many whiskies taste suspiciously like automobile radiators, and it is not politically correct to suspect that a serially convicted burglar might steal again. Crime is totally unknown. Impeck's national animal is the bison, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Impeck is ranked 12,849^th in the world and 51^st in the Plains of Perdition for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 4,574.25 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
