The Queendom of Inaba is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, fear of technology, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.164 billion Inaba 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 enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 80.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Inaba economy, worth 661 trillion Yen 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 Retail, Furniture Restoration, Gambling, and Information Technology. 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 impressive 158,907 Yen, with the richest citizens earning 9.1 times as much as the poorest.

Thieves claim they're simply working for the tax agency, twice-daily toilet inspection rotas for government buildings are archived for public appraisal, bemused schoolkids colour in their favourite quadratic equations with crayons, and Inaba's fine wines are renowned throughout the region. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Inaba's national animal is the Rabbit, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Inaba is ranked 8,976th in the world and 1st in Eientei for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 6,061.13 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
