The People's Republic of Invernessia is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by The Academy with a fair hand, and remarkable for its digital currency, state-planned economy, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 13.881 billion Invernessians 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 relatively small, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Industry, with Environment, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while Defense and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ferguson. The average income tax rate is 93.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Invernessian economy, worth a remarkable 6,365 trillion Euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 458,548 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government builds houses for foreign newcomers, the government is spending serious cheddar protecting sewer rats, school lessons are constantly interrupted by 'teacher needs a break' time, and family isn't who you're born with but who you abandon in foreign countries. Crime is totally unknown. Invernessia's national animal is the Dragon sheep, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Linear Algebra.

Invernessia is ranked 1,011^th in the world and 20^th in Europe for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 1,057.88 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
