The Republic of I nsect y is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ban on automobiles, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 1.503 billion I nsect yians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 23.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The I nsect yian economy, worth 63.3 trillion headpats a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 42,112 headpats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prison walls have had to be modified to keep parkour-trained criminals from escaping, the government has officially clarified that "wee on your hands to save time" does not count as proper hygiene, clergy who start talking about politics are forced to take a holy vow of silence, and men avoid even so much as looking at female colleagues. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. I nsect y's national animal is the catgirl, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

I nsect y is ranked 161,082^nd in the world and 585^th in Concord for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 1,408.94 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
