The Theocratic Republic of Ineva is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Prime Minister Ace Phillips with a fair hand, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, daily referendums, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 5.898 billion Inevians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ashvekov. The average income tax rate is 26.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Inevan economy, worth a remarkable 1,508 trillion Avens a year, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Gambling. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 255,820 Avens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Newspaper stories fill several pages with colorful adjectives, sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed, parking lots are littered with coffee cups and doughnut crumbs, and students at universities think exercise bikes are pieces of abstract art. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Ineva's national animal is the Atlantic Puffin, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Judaism.

Ineva is ranked 11,145^th in the world and 7^th in Liberty Democratic Alliance for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 405.82 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
