The Republic of Innocentic is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Kurz Sgitheanach with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, complete lack of prisons, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.717 billion Innocents are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gundesaelf. The average income tax rate is 97.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Innocent economy, worth a remarkable 1,981 trillion Panningas 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 227,264 Panningas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The hardest thing for a mining operation to dig through is government red tape, the Ministry of Health has reported a sharp increase in the incidence of delayed menopause, the question of 'what is Kurz Sgitheanach's favorite color?' has been given a priority rating of burnt-orange, and school lockers are filled with fancy underwear. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Innocentic's national animal is the Black Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Innocentic is ranked 189,246^th in the world and 547^th in Europe for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 135.24 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
