The Confederate state of Third Indochina is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Social-democracy union with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working population of 2.071 billion Indochinans 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 Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Prindentopolis. The average income tax rate is 73.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Indochinan economy, worth 276 trillion Reinks a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 133,281 Reinks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Monocled merchants with funny accents are applying for Indochinan citizenship in droves, the traditional Violetist dish of stuffed sheep's head is served with an intense look of shock upon its face, the government is hoping that medical aid will speak louder than human rights abuses, and for the sake of 'public interest' news programs tell viewers how to home-make Sarin gas bombs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Third Indochina's national animal is the Panda, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Confucianism.

Third Indochina is ranked 45,537^th in the world and 5^th in The Raiders Commune for Most Cultured, scoring 73 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
