The United Socialist States of Inendex is a very large, genial nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 481 million Inendexians 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 large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Globus. The average income tax rate is 66.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Inendexian economy, worth 13.3 trillion Plicks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 27,662 Plicks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government leaders testify at international tribunals on why the sun went out, research grant proposals read like political diatribes, trade policy consists of ganging up on the new guy, and government election advice reads like a restaurant menu. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Inendex's national animal is the Snow Leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Inendex is ranked 312,251^st in the world and 17,044^th in Osiris for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 9,405.09 Standard Monetary Units.
