The People's Republic of Invernessia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by The Academy with a fair hand, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, soft-spoken computers, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 9.663 billion Invernessians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Industry, although Environment, Administration, and Education are also considered important, while Defense and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ferguson. The average income tax rate is 93.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Invernessian economy, worth a remarkable 3,601 trillion Euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 372,720 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government's fruit business reeks of rotting produce and corruption, truancy is as easy as clicking a camera icon, many marriages go virtually unconsummated, and builders across Invernessia are blocked up with orders for new public loos. Crime is totally unknown. Invernessia's national animal is the Dragon sheep, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Linear Algebra.

Invernessia is ranked 237,799^th in the world and 996^th in Europe for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 23,481.38 Standard Monetary Units.
