The Governor Emeritus of Idinist Imauggland is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by King Idinist XVII with an iron fist, and notable for its smutty television, ban on automobiles, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 4.65 billion baguette-eating hippos are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hippodinist. The average income tax rate is 72.0%.

The thriving Baguettian economy, worth 289 trillion baguettes a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 62,257 baguettes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Historical commemorations regularly devolve into militaristic jingoism, King Idinist XVII's latest speech included a bizarre reference to MaxWow incontinence pads being 50% more absorbent than the next leading brand, childish pranks are no laughing matter, and condemned prisoners spend hours a day sitting in lotus position looking perplexed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Idinist Imauggland's national animal is the hippo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Duckorismist.

Idinist Imauggland is ranked 100,842nd in the world and 12th in The New Storm for Safest, scoring 82.33 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
