The Social Democratic Federation of Indo States is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by President Carmelita Quintos with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, humorless, devout population of 18.884 billion Fatimanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fatima City. The average income tax rate is 92.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Fatimanian economy, worth a remarkable 6,191 trillion Eastern Siberian Estanas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 327,855 Eastern Siberian Estanas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The Ministry of Health has reported a sharp increase in the incidence of delayed menopause, the "feminist protest" defence is increasingly common for cases of armed robbery, citizens seem fixated on 105m x 45m rectangles, and it ain't easy to be green enough to be imported into Indo States. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Indo States's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Roman Catholic and Occidental Orthodoxy.

Indo States is ranked 2,326^th in the world and 1^st in Hartfelden for Highest Average Incomes, with 327,855.32 Standard Monetary Units.
