The Five Fingered Discount of Ivetnia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by a pretty cool human bean with a fair hand, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, soft-spoken computers, and labour-free parental leave. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 17.36 billion Ivetnians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Haven. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Ivetnian economy, worth a remarkable 4,810 trillion Vemils a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 277,130 Vemils, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Criminals and college students are taking an interest in the government's new weed-killing program, internet searches for the inventor of the three-wheeled steam-powered Ivetnian weed picker are way up, whipping posts and lashes have been transferred to the Historical Museum of Ivetnian Embarrassments, and burning twigs to keep warm while lost in the wild is now a felony. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ivetnia's national animal is the Pangolin, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is drawn out sigh noise.

Ivetnia is ranked 285,467th in the world and 119th in Equilism for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -5.37 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
