The Colony of Intoxication Island is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its closed borders, pith helmet sales, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, devout population of 2.09 billion Intoxication Islanders are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 39.4%.

The strong Intoxication Islandic economy, worth 141 trillion scudoes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 67,657 scudoes, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

Society and government have been organized according to a feudal hierarchy, the traditional Violetist dish of stuffed sheep's head is served with an intense look of shock upon its face, lifeguards are more concerned with watching for sharks than struggling swimmers, and Harry Potter books are banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Intoxication Island's national animal is the whale, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Brewer-Alawism.

Intoxication Island is ranked 187,784^th in the world and 34^th in Polychrome Archipelago for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 789.45 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
