The Commune of Ima is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by The Commune with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, ban on automobiles, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, democratic population of 10.423 billion Imen 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 enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sânz. The average income tax rate is 95.7%.

The all-consuming Iman economy, worth a remarkable 1,316 trillion Labour Vouchers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 126,300 Labour Vouchers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has spent days debating the merits of a petition calling for a ban on sporks, builders across Ima are blocked up with orders for new public loos, raver DJ XStacy holds multiple medical degrees in chillaxing, and people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight. Crime is totally unknown. Ima's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ima is ranked 42,187^th in the world and 627^th in The Communist Bloc for Lowest Crime Rates, with 76.79 law-abiding acts per hour.
