The United Socialist States of Inendex is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 438 million Inendexians 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 large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Globus. The average income tax rate is 65.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Inendexian economy, worth 10.5 trillion Plicks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Soda Sales. Average income is 23,877 Plicks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The new national campaign exhorts men to "Show Some Class - Don't Sit On Your Ass", if there's something strange in your neighborhood you call Brancaland, older citizens lament over the loss of law and order, and children are sent to either religious or secular schools. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Inendex's national animal is the Snow Leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Inendex is ranked 17,174^th in the world and 887^th in Osiris for Nicest Citizens, with 24.05 average smiles per day.
