The Federation of Impentia is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Ulrich Lauersdorff with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 4.119 billion Impentengs are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Onteikär. The average income tax rate is 53.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Impentian economy, worth 273 trillion Schafas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is 66,338 Schafas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Diplomatic missions typically end with a flurry of childish insults, accusations and phlegm, there's nothing more rock-and-roll than absolute sobriety, the banshee wail foretells skies of death, and Impentia has one of the largest offshore wind farms in the world. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Impentia's national animal is the Archüna, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Impentia is ranked 47,640^th in the world and 146^th in Refugia for Smartest Citizens, with 44.93 quips per hour.
