Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The People's Republic of Invernessia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by The Academy with a fair hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, digital currency, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.819 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 medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Industry, although Environment, Administration, and Education are also considered important, while Defense and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ferguson. The average income tax rate is 93.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Invernessian economy, worth a remarkable 3,163 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 358,722 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government's fruit business reeks of rotting produce and corruption, cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates, nude art is becoming wildly popular, and The Academy's told that love often manifests itself through homicidal four-lettered litanies. 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 1,921^st in the world and 36^th in Europe for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 71.15 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
