The Sociodemocratic Republic of Intolia is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Mari Willa with a fair hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, soft-spoken computers, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 10.629 billion Intolians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Welfare, Administration, and Industry also on the agenda, while Defense is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Derminia. The average income tax rate is 94.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Intolian economy, worth a remarkable 1,698 trillion Intolian florins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 159,811 Intolian florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Engineers preemptively order lawyers after every power cut, Blackacrean security services are wondering why Mari Willa is so fond of the numbers 6, 7 and 9, pretending to be prejudiced is a good way to get out of jury duty, and bike rage is all the rage. Crime is totally unknown. Intolia's national animal is the phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Intolia is ranked 60,271^st in the world and 2,458^th in Lazarus for Largest Populations, with 10.6 billion capita.
