The Oppressed State of Inoek is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Konrad Curze with an iron fist, and notable for its soft-spoken computers, avowedly heterosexual populace, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.002 billion Nostromans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nostromano Prime. The average income tax rate is 81.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Notroman economy, worth a remarkable 1,071 trillion Martyrs 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. 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 267,722 Martyrs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Konrad Curze's Dreadnought-class tankbuster limousine is said to have more ammunition than the entire Brancalandian Army, all footpaths have tollbooths, quiet professionalism has returned to the nation's armed forces, and twins move across the country to avoid being accused of the other's crimes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Inoek's national animal is the Flayed One, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Imperial Truth.

Inoek is ranked 245,309th in the world and 7,730th in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 20.03875106408 days.
