The Grand Orchestral Archonate of Instrumentia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Archon Lilya of Intellect with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, frequent executions, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, devout population of 2.055 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 97.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Instrumentian economy, worth 337 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 impressive 164,187 chords, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The carbon tax fund gladly supplies warm blankets when the poor can't pay their heating bills, interest in globalism never flags, every workday begins with group therapy, and citizens no longer take selfies with their dead relatives at funerals. 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 7,335^th in the world and 10^th in Caer Sidi for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,890.88 Pounds Of Wildlife Per Square Mile.
