The Empire of Inner Systems is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 270 million Inner Systemsians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.7%.

The very strong Inner Systemsian economy, worth 13.7 trillion Imperial Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 50,610 Imperial Credits, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 186,036 per year while the poor average 9,736, a ratio of 19.1 to 1.

The nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, citizens who leave the nation for work are instantly charged with treason, political visitors are forced to stop ten paces from Leader's throne, and EULAs remind customers that "Private Mode" is a browser setting rather than a promise. Crime is a problem. Inner Systems's national animal is the Eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Inner Systems is ranked 78,710^th in the world and 1,678^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Primitive, scoring 33.91 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
