The People's Republic of Invernessia is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by The Academy with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 13.888 billion Invernessians 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 relatively small, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Industry, with Environment, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while Defense and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ferguson. The average income tax rate is 93.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Invernessian economy, worth a remarkable 6,370 trillion Euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 458,736 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

School lessons are constantly interrupted by 'teacher needs a break' time, family isn't who you're born with but who you abandon in foreign countries, legend has it The Academy's shower singing echoes through the halls of government, and the government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments. Crime is totally unknown. Invernessia's national animal is the Dragon sheep, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Linear Algebra.

Invernessia is ranked 35,944^th in the world and 178^th in Europe for Largest Populations, with 13.9 billion capita.
