The Theocratic Republic of The Imagination Animals is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Supreme Leader Eric Wright with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, ritual sacrifices, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.253 billion Imaginanimalsians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Crossoveripolis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 81.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Imagination Animalsian economy, worth 311 trillion Crossoverian Rials a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Trout Farming, Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 138,479 Crossoverian Rials, with the richest citizens earning 9.0 times as much as the poorest.

News editors who eschew the state-approved superlatives for describing Supreme Leader Eric Wright tend to disappear, the nation's diplomatic missives are now delivered via sniper rifle, children are encouraged to fail at school so as not to appear too enlightened, and a blood-red mark on the doorframe means a building must be passed over for destruction. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Imagination Animals's national animal is the Virginia Opossum, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Hefflism.

The Imagination Animals is ranked 236,350^th in the world and 22^nd in Amalgamated Federation for Most Armed, with 0.15 Weapons Per Person.
