The Grand Orchestral Archonate of Instrumentia is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Archon Lilya of Intellect with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 5.932 billion Instrumentians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Composer. The average income tax rate is 98.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Instrumentian economy, worth a remarkable 1,204 trillion chords 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 led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 203,098 chords, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

You gots to be part of the Party to get in to the party, tourists need only sign on the dotted line to become citizens, if a tree falls in the forest and nobody is there to hear it... Instrumentian satellites can detect it, and Archon Lilya of Intellect's media campaigns take a hiatus around exam week. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Instrumentia's national animal is the Songbird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Anglicism.

Instrumentia is ranked 298,956^th in the world and 112^th in Caer Sidi for Fattest Citizens, with 4.59 Obesity Rate.
