The Parliamentary Republic of Indian Empire is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Juan Rodriguez with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and parental licensing program. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 16.419 billion Empireans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Povlsen. The average income tax rate is 96.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Empirean economy, worth a remarkable 2,777 trillion Kroner a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 169,192 Kroner, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Burial ceremonies have become as routinised as tax forms, vaccinations are mandatory, literature classes frequently go on field trips to rock concerts, and motorists must pay to enter inner-cities during peak hours. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Indian Empire's national animal is the Walrus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Atheism.

Indian Empire is ranked 224,935^th in the world and 191^st in Texas for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -457.47 on the Hayek Index.
