The Incorporated States of ImmSi is a massive, safe nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 1.742 billion are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 8%. A large private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

Almost all of ImmSi's water is piped into the country from abroad for exorbitant prices, thousands of former welfare recipients are in a revolutionary uproar as the rest of society is enjoying a hefty tax break, the right to free speech is being drastically curtailed, and space research funding has hit a recent high while several military bases are being closed down. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ImmSi's national animal is the hammer-nose kuukaburra, and its currency is the tugreeck.

ImmSi is ranked 1,663rd in Balder and 72,680th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -1 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
