The Rising Eagle of Inspiratus is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Claudius Gracchus with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, pith helmet sales, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.761 billion Inspiratusians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Urbs Altus. The average income tax rate is 40.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Inspiratusian economy, worth a remarkable 1,909 trillion Monetas a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 217,928 Monetas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prime commercial land is being swamped with archaeological teams, census workers struggle to account for the rapidly increasing number of citizens to tabulate, multiple births are a cause of celebration for tax collectors, and skin-tone prom dresses are more unpopular than ever. Crime is totally unknown. Inspiratus's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Illuminatism.

Inspiratus is ranked 732^nd in the world and 39^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 1,085.28 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
