The Principality of Incense is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Angmar with a fair hand, and notable for its national health service, parental licensing program, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 30.375 billion Ivoreans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Amber Blood and Gold. The average income tax rate is 99.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Incensean economy, worth a remarkable 6,440 trillion Sickles a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 212,044 Sickles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Subsistence farmers require doctorates in applied sowing, stolen Reuben sandwiches are met with detailed and thorough police investigations, cheese lovers have a case of the bleus, and the government is avowedly secular. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Incense's national animal is the Vixhexen, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Universal Life Church.

Incense is ranked 329,530th in the world and 1st in Ivory Tower for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 1,908.4 Standard Monetary Units.
