The Empire of Indsoarm is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, compulsory gun ownership, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 205 million Indsoarmians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 41.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Indsoarmian economy, worth 10.9 trillion Soarms a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Furniture Restoration, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 53,352 Soarms, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Home renovation shows are increasingly popular, new government leaflets tell coeliac children to eat more crisps, commuters travel in zigzags to avoid stalking accusations, and child shoplifters spend half their youth behind bars. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Indsoarm's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Indsoarm is ranked 65,649^th in the world and 2^nd in The Red Plains for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 115.63 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
