The Principality of Inkmanton is a massive, economically powerful nation, ruled by Prince Albert Maria Josephus with an even hand, and notable for its complete lack of public education. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 2.323 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded individuals juggles the competing demands of Religion & Spirituality, Law & Order, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Inkmanton. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Pizza Delivery industries.

City rooftops are pockmarked with the shattered remains of experimental delivery drones, morning coffees are no longer the same since the disappearance of newspapers, urban high-volume mailers now receive their mail via chauffeur-driven limousines, and the government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments. Crime is a serious problem. Inkmanton's national animal is the red arklebuster, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Roman Catholicism, and its currency is the gold ounce.

Inkmanton is ranked 108th in Coalition of Catholic States and 130,313th in the world for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring -132 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
