The Democratic Republic of INDIA-616 is a massive, genial nation, ruled by KANHA with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.715 billion INDIA-616ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Queen Bani. The average income tax rate is 77.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient INDIA-616ian economy, worth 231 trillion chocoes a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 135,230 chocoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Warfare increasingly resembles a video game, skateparks can be found in every city, the wearing and manufacture of fur apparel is banned, and INDIA-616ian watches are often the only thing to survive a disaster intact. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. INDIA-616's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

INDIA-616 is ranked 23,829^th in the world and 930^th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 87 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
