The Surprise Local Teams of Indian Empire is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Malthe Hjorth with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, prohibition of alcohol, and smutty television. The compassionate, cheerful population of 12.229 billion Empireans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Povlsen. The average income tax rate is 94.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Empirean economy, worth a remarkable 2,031 trillion Kroner a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 166,116 Kroner, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Folk are absolutely certain that you can never be absolutely certain, religious education is a new government priority, rude retail employees are now even ruder homeless panhandlers, and many suspect the government "doth protest too much" with their curiously specific denials of conspiracy theories. 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 3,644^th in the world and 7^th in Texas for Most Developed, scoring 93.79 on the Human Development Index.
