The Community of Ingermanland is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its fear of technology, ban on automobiles, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 13.597 billion Ingermanlandians 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 66.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Ingermanlandian economy, worth a remarkable 1,467 trillion Golds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 107,936 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The police strictly enforce off-limit zones for tourists, third world countries are rich in "I Love Ingermanland City" t-shirts, marijuana is legal in the privacy of your own home, and the sun rises an hour later on border communities. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ingermanland's national animal is the Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ingermanland is ranked 262,456^th in the world and 9,572^nd in Balder for Most Armed, with 0.17 weapons per person.
