The Democratic States of Immelmania is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Great and Glorious Leader with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, prohibition of alcohol, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 22.826 billion Immelmanorians 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Immelmania City. The average income tax rate is 99.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Immelmanian economy, worth a remarkable 4,742 trillion Immels a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 207,756 Immels, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The intelligence community is playing 4-D chess with an imaginary spy network, family isn't who you're born with but who you abandon in foreign countries, concussed Dodoball players cannot remember their lineup position, and the government-sponsored autobiography 'A The Great and Glorious Leader For All Seasons' has only been bought by the most loyal of The Great and Glorious Leader's supporters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Immelmania's national animal is the Dodo, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Self-Gratification.

Immelmania is ranked 22,316^th in the world and 1,227^th in Balder for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 6,756.28 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
