The Republic of Innocentic is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Anteo Solarius with a fair hand, and renowned for its national health service, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.607 billion Innocents 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 government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gundesaelf. The average income tax rate is 97.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Innocent economy, worth a remarkable 1,949 trillion Panningas 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 significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 226,454 Panningas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Frequent fliers are obliged to submit to invasive security procedures by government security, film studios own the rights to actors' likenesses until the next millennium, a flying elephant and Anteo Solarius share the same nickname, and burning twigs to keep warm while lost in the wild is now a felony. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Innocentic's national animal is the Black Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Innocentic is ranked 137,581^st in the world and 363^rd in Europe for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 707.32 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
