The Poverty Gay Space Fascism of The Interregnum is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Al-Fayd de Vries with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 4.322 billion Solarians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lydia. The average income tax rate is 15.8%.

The strong Interregnumian economy, worth 259 trillion Rand a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 60,156 Rand, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

Garishly-decorated government buildings are being hailed as the height of 'religious nouveau', tourists flock to see the giant stone carvings of historical leaders at Mount Rushless, serial commas clarify the relationship between one's lackeys, the taxpayers, and kinsfolk, and a degree in Al-Fayd De Vries Science with a Minor in Awesomeology starts many political careers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Interregnum's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Salvationism.

The Interregnum is ranked 206,451^st in the world and 4^th in Tellos for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -2.28 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
