Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Queendom of IndyPosh is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Queen Indira with a fair hand, and notable for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 1.588 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Social Welfare, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Indy Town. The average income tax rate is 48%, but much higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Nude art is becoming wildly popular, euthanasia is legal, the nation has an international reputation for compassion, and politicians constantly ring their voters to remind them how good a job they're doing. Crime is relatively low. IndyPosh's national animal is the Indy Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Indy.

IndyPosh is ranked 3,931st in the Pacific and 93,957th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -5 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
