The People's Republic of Internatistan is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its vat-grown people, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 589 million Internatistanis are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Terra. The average income tax rate is 69.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Internatistanian economy, worth 12.6 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Trout Farming, and Information Technology. Average income is 21,438 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sex changes are routinely performed at Internatistan's hospitals, government officials sit helplessly as they are labelled 'Pompous Womples' by celebrities, attendance of fathers at PTA meetings is at an all-time high, and most of the nation's wealthy aristocrats are dentists. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Internatistan's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Internatistan is ranked 54,330^th in the world and 641^st in 10000 Islands for Smartest Citizens, with 39.2 quips per hour.
