The Vintage blood wine of Incognitian Paradox is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its enforced nudity. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 7.583 billion are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 47%, but much higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Cheese Exports.

The Navy has outraged the international community by sinking a boatload of refugees to prevent them reaching the shore, all news sources are under strict government control, Incognitian Paradox's army is full of two-metre tall super-soldiers, and Incognitian Paradox's Medieval Faire is renowned as one of the best in the region. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Incognitian Paradox's national animal is the Crimson Wolf, and its currency is the Loyalty .

Incognitian Paradox is ranked 1st in Blackwater Tavern and 47,564th in the world for Most Income Equality, scoring 134 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
