The Unified Democratic States of Inven is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Franz Liszt with an even hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, sprawling nuclear power plants, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 6.995 billion Invenians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Creativ. The average income tax rate is 99.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Invenian economy, worth a remarkable 1,534 trillion IUDS a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 219,376 IUDS, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Franz Liszt's handshakes with opposition leaders usually lead to thumb wars, interest in globalism never flags, government reports are now used to teach toddlers to read, and exceptionally healthy police officers can sprint after crooks for hours on end. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Inven's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Inven is ranked 4,060^th in the world and 235^th in The North Pacific for Most Efficient Economies, scoring 100.34 on the Krugman-Greenspan Business Outlook Index.
