The Republic of Intown is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its frequent executions, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 1.358 billion Intownians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Social Policy, Administration, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Welfare aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 46.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Intownian economy, worth 78.2 trillion bitcoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Tourism, Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 57,609 bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Flu research is commonly shut down for fear of creating a superbug, prisoners regularly escape detention posing as scarecrows, Intown has taken the radical step of electing its future leaders, and the poor are often seen pale and dizzy after selling their blood to make ends meet. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Intown's national animal is the penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Intown is ranked 54,345^th in the world and 1,658^th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 71 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
