The Republic of Indus River is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by President Ganga Bedi with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 3.316 billion Indians 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 prioritizes Law & Order, although Defense, Healthcare, and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Delhi. The average income tax rate is 30.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Indus Riverian economy, worth 143 trillion rupees a year, is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 43,342 rupees, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Videogames like 'Equalia: Knights of Self-Confidence' are proving inexplicably unpopular, depression sinks in after each election when voters realize they are stuck with these people for years, police aim to defeat hatred with love with their "hugs-for-thugs" program, and the family of President Ganga Bedi bite their thumbs at paparazzi intrusions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Indus River's national animal is the Tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Hinduism.

Indus River is ranked 16,050^th in the world and 2^nd in Council of Nations for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 5,311.96 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
