The Republic of Interceptor XV is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its burgeoning sheep population. The quiet, industrious population of 13.941 billion Interceptor XVians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 22.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Interceptor XVian economy, worth 581 trillion pesos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Cheese Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 41,644 pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Interceptor XV's national animal is the sheep, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Interceptor XV is ranked 140,034^th in the world and 2^nd in Hrechkapel for Nicest Citizens, with 12 average smiles per day.
