The Indiana Founder of John Indiana is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by John Indiana with an iron fist, and notable for its public floggings, frequent executions, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.602 billion Random Hoosiers 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 medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Indianapolis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22.3%.

The a Random Hoosier economy, worth 85.7 trillion Corns a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Pizza Delivery, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 53,464 Corns, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 253,671 per year while the poor average 6,649, a ratio of 38.1 to 1.

Rural citizens live in terror of their local village constable, doctors prescribe medicines but they rarely dispense hope or compassion, women don't report crimes to the emergency services for fear of being arrested, and immigrant Maxtopians are routinely sold on popular internet auction sites. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. John Indiana's national animal is the Corn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cult of Indiana.

John Indiana is ranked 86,041^st in the world and 1^st in Indianapolis Indiana for Largest Black Market, with 3.55 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
