The Religious Nutters of InvisiblePinkUnicorns is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate population of 7.977 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 juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Monocerotica. The average income tax rate is 65%, and even higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Book Publishing.

Retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, schools have extensive counseling programs for troubled students, most of the nation's wealthy aristocrats are dentists, and volunteers are signing up to take arms against an incursion of flesh-eating zombies (InvisiblePinkUnicorns has found 1 easter eggs). Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. InvisiblePinkUnicorns's national animal is the fog sprite, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the cornu.

InvisiblePinkUnicorns is ranked 10th in Kittens Sanctuary and 89,583rd in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -4 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
