The Federation of Indigo Prime is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its vat-grown people, ban on automobiles, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 20.045 billion Indigo Primeans 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of nullzone. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 40.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Indigo Primean economy, worth a remarkable 2,437 trillion minutes 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 large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Information Technology. 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 an impressive 121,589 minutes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 401,363 per year while the poor average 27,557, a ratio of 14.6 to 1.

The government's economic policy can be summed up as "Abort, Retry, Fail?", schoolboys who turn to watch pretty girls go by are given detention, entire provinces are populated solely by nuclear missile technicians and military police, and international trade can be a pain to deal with. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Indigo Prime's national animal is the Iscariot, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Indigo Prime is ranked 9,595^th in the world and 1^st in Steam Punk for Largest Black Market, with 565 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
