“Pain is weakness leaving the body!”

The Kingdom of Imbrinium is a massive, safe nation, ruled by King Marcius A Reapers III with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed population of 4.386 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Defence, although Law & Order and Education are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cormond. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Tourism industry, followed by Book Publishing and Arms Manufacturing.

Travellers are often forcibly evicted by torch-bearing mobs, the upper class have been throwing riots after hunting was recently banned, retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, and phone taps are frequently carried out by the police. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Imbrinium's national animal is the black bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the brin.

Imbrinium is ranked 26th in the region and 15,516th in the world for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry.
