The People's Republic of Invernessia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by The Academy with a fair hand, and remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, infamous sell-swords, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.771 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 aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ferguson. The average income tax rate is 93.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Invernessian economy, worth a remarkable 3,149 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 Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 359,071 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Truancy is as easy as clicking a camera icon, turning the other cheek is accompanied by a polite letter of complaint, ice-filled coffins are ominously positioned in the corner of every hospital ward, and blue sky thinkers are reminded that the firmament is actually more of a grey-ish colour. 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 1,798^th in the world and 36^th in Europe for Safest, scoring 150.4 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
