The Rising Eagle of Inspiratus is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Claudius Gracchus with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and vat-grown people. The compassionate, cheerful population of 9.941 billion Inspiratusians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Urbs Altus. The average income tax rate is 62.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Inspiratusian economy, worth a remarkable 2,198 trillion Monetas 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 221,195 Monetas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Shady doctors seem to have impeccable records, workers tend to schedule naps during all-hands meetings, museums stand half-empty as all foreign exhibits are returned to their countries of origin, and graverobbers claim they're acting within the interest of 'scientific preservation'. Crime is totally unknown. Inspiratus's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Illuminatism.

Inspiratus is ranked 305,252^nd in the world and 5,653^rd in The North Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -9.17 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
