The People's Republic of Invernessia is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its smutty television, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 522 million Invernessians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ferguson. The average income tax rate is 75.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Invernessian economy, worth 52.5 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 quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 100,665 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Gift hampers filled with delicious beef jerky are sent to newly communist nations, the diplomatic corps stinks, the roads are notorious throughout the region for their peril, and unstable couples are known to break up over which one gets parental leave. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Invernessia's national animal is the Dragon sheep, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Invernessia is ranked 32,032^nd in the world and 384^th in Europe for Highest Average Incomes, with 100,665.49 Standard Monetary Units.
