The Republic of Imenvje is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by CEO Tukhim Dinilba with an iron fist, and remarkable for its closed borders, unlimited-speed roads, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.969 billion Imenvians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The minute, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Qaladukh. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 2.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Imenvian economy, worth a remarkable 1,454 trillion vijj qdhars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Gambling. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 182,496 vijj qdhars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,606,446 per year while the poor average 3,026, a ratio of 530 to 1.
Children are often punished for the sins of the fathers, atheists on vacation find Yal Badh Uddaq's scriptures make useful doorstops, it's a marvellous night for a moon dance as the sparks on your home start to rise, and poets and writers are regularly rounded up and shot for entertainment. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Imenvje's national animal is the swan, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Yal Badh Uddaq.
Imenvje is ranked 42,785th in the world and 23rd in Wysteria for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 4,449.84 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
