The Federal Directorate of Intisarium is a colossal, socially progressive nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.433 billion Intisari are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Intisar. The average income tax rate is 83.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Intisari economy, worth 357 trillion Starlights a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 104,177 Starlights, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All facts are created equal, rugby players that knock each other over always stop to make sure the other fellow is okay, saying "don't do anything that Leader wouldn't do" doesn't exclude a great deal, and starving citizens are offered nuclear pasta. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Intisarium's national animal is the Slugcat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Intisarium is ranked 167,026th in the world and 124th in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Largest Populations, with 3.43 billion capita.
