The Commonwealth of Independiania is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by The Prophet of Independence with an iron fist, and notable for its ban on automobiles, complete lack of prisons, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 24.269 billion Independianians 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 Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Independence. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 93.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Independianian economy, worth a remarkable 6,447 trillion Independences a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 265,686 Independences, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 982,013 per year while the poor average 50,669, a ratio of 19.4 to 1.

Merry Birthday is a popular protest song despite the risk of fines and royalty dues, children are disappointed their allowances are no longer convertible to gold, Jack Russells have proven to be terrible spies, and The Prophet of Independence has returned as a hero from a brutal campaign to conquer the local beach. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Independiania's national animal is the Independie, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Independence.

Independiania is ranked 331,916^th in the world and 4^th in Otoris for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -14.53 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
