The Nomadic Peoples of Indarside is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Wrel with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, public floggings, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 18.107 billion Salty Vets are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Crown. The average income tax rate is 92.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Indarsidean economy, worth a remarkable 5,497 trillion Bonus Cheques a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an amazing 303,588 Bonus Cheques, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Children who display even minimal sporting aptitude are immediately assigned a personal trainer, the tawdry celebrity gossip section has moved to the front page of most newspapers, muscular women are banned from competing in sporting competitions, and children dream of becoming physicians and physicists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Indarside's national animal is the Pubbie, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Higby's Hair.

Indarside is ranked 21,812^th in the world and 8^th in Esamir for Lowest Crime Rates, with 88.34 law-abiding acts per hour.
