The Republic of Immortaru is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its compulsory vegetarianism, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 8.052 billion Immortaruans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Healthcare. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Immortaruan economy, worth a remarkable 2,081 trillion currencies 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an amazing 258,486 currencies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Road signs are getting harder to read under layers of knitted woolen cardigans, pedants defending Leader observe that psychopaths and sociopaths aren't exactly the same thing, the sound of wooden legs echo throughout Immortaru after the recent introduction of the Foot Tax, and every workday begins with group therapy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Immortaru's national animal is the animal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Immortaru is ranked 335,877^th in the world and 43^rd in Vickenian experiment incubator for Most Cultured, scoring 1 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
