The Principality of Incense is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Angmar with a fair hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, national health service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 30.37 billion Ivoreans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Amber Blood and Gold. The average income tax rate is 99.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Incensean economy, worth a remarkable 6,453 trillion Sickles a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 212,487 Sickles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government keeps introducing new foreign species to combat the previous ones it has introduced, subsistence farmers require doctorates in applied sowing, stolen Reuben sandwiches are met with detailed and thorough police investigations, and cheese lovers have a case of the bleus. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Incense's national animal is the Vixhexen, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Universal Life Church.

Incense is ranked 1,576th in the world and 1st in Ivory Tower for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 99.15 Effective Tax Rate.
