The Rising Eagle of Inspiratus is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Claudius Gracchus with a fair hand, and renowned for its smutty television, hatred of cheese, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 6.704 billion Inspiratusians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Urbs Altus. The average income tax rate is 45.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Inspiratusian economy, worth a remarkable 1,427 trillion Monetas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 212,919 Monetas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government employees from Inspiratus dominate international lumberjack competitions, the government has started a campaign to crack down on road rage and encourage alternate means of commuting, being Claudius Gracchus has been voted one of the top ten most dangerous jobs, and government negotiators never forget to say "pretty please" when begging for custody of its criminals. Crime is totally unknown. Inspiratus's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Illuminatism.

Inspiratus is ranked 4,714^th in the world and 182^nd in The North Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 115,615.15 Standard Monetary Units.
