The People's Republic of Invernessia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Academy with a fair hand, and renowned for its digital currency, infamous sell-swords, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.736 billion Invernessians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Industry, with Administration, Environment, and Education also on the agenda, while Defense and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ferguson. The average income tax rate is 92.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Invernessian economy, worth a remarkable 3,130 trillion Euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 358,338 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Flags are commonly used as bonfire kindling, a policy of plausible deniability helps protect the government from athletic doping scandals, factories place endangered birds in their rafters in pursuit of government protections, and television executives are interested in turning The Academy's zany home life into a sitcom. Crime is totally unknown. Invernessia's national animal is the Dragon sheep, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Linear Algebra.

Invernessia is ranked 290,690^th in the world and 1,442^nd in Europe for Most Primitive, scoring -750.12 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
