The Dictatorship of Ingsocs is a very large, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 156 million Ingsocsians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 73.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Ingsocsian economy, worth 2.40 trillion pounds 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 black market in Cheese Exports, Woodchip Exports, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. 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 15,414 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Using "inspect element" is grounds for espionage charges, anti-vaxxers claim that injected children are prone to psychotic breaks when they see the 'Queen of Diamonds' playing card, politicians are often seen with soldiers pointing guns at their heads, and it's best to decline if Leader offers to buy a round of drinks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ingsocs's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ingsocs is ranked 220,086th in the world and 4,203rd in the South Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 7.52 average smiles per day.
