The Loyal Colony of Intercadria is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons, compulsory military service, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, cynical population of 25.428 billion Intercadrians enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The relatively small, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.1%.

The thriving Intercadrian economy, worth a remarkable 1,090 trillion counts a year, is highly specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is 42,875 counts, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 173,841 per year while the poor average 7,039, a ratio of 24.7 to 1.

Crime is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Intercadria's national animal is the pheasant.

Intercadria is ranked 139,688^th in the world and 27^th in Colonies for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 38,974.1 Standard Monetary Units.
