The Federative Republics of Inner Ted Imazahvatia is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Sergei Pavlenko with an iron fist, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, keen interest in outer space, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 9.755 billion Imazahvatians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Novagrad. The average income tax rate is 96.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Imazahvatian economy, worth a remarkable 1,951 trillion Gems a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 200,080 Gems, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Petting zoos have loose fingers strewn about, wilderness-dwelling hermits are surprised to find railway stations on their front doorsteps, bridge salesmen line up for blocks to make their cases at Sergei Pavlenko's office, and children are afraid to go out at night due to the ubiquity of hardened jaywalkers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Inner Ted Imazahvatia's national animal is the Red Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Inner Ted Imazahvatia is ranked 4,103^rd in the world and 99^th in the South Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 95.8 on the Human Development Index.
