The Dominion of Inner Friday is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Aslan with an iron fist, and notable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, rampant corporate plagiarism, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 16.492 billion Inner Fridayians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Round Table. The average income tax rate is 97.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Inner Fridayian economy, worth a remarkable 4,138 trillion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 250,939 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Tough diplomacy is often best handled with a nutcracker, editorials that criticize the government are legally obligated to display the "pants on fire" warning, frequent broken zippers have resulted in safety pins making a fashion comeback, and obstetricians are not allowed to publish ultrasound pictures of fetuses in medical journals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Inner Friday's national animal is the porpoise, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Narnia.

Inner Friday is ranked 3,020th in the world and 2nd in Narnia for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 97.75 Effective Tax Rate.
