The Confederacy of Inariagineniy is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ritual sacrifices, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.728 billion Inariagineniyians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 81.5%.
The frighteningly efficient Inariagineniyian economy, worth a remarkable 2,691 trillion Shiny Green Things a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 229,514 Shiny Green Things, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 695,825 per year while the poor average 58,869, a ratio of 11.8 to 1.
Cheap textbooks have replaced coasters at college ragers, the number of students attending university has reached a record high, women don't report crimes to the emergency services for fear of being arrested, and the government is under the thumb of countless special interests. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Inariagineniy's national animal is the Scorpion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Inariagineniy is ranked 334,781st in the world and 16,763rd in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 4 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
