The Forestrate of Ingelsk is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its daily referendums, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 3.773 billion Ingelians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Narovia. The average income tax rate is 83.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ingelian economy, worth 357 trillion ailurs 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 Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 94,673 ailurs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The demands of climate protestors are measured in spray-paint can sales, legitimate job descriptions now include "smiling and waving", libraries are bulldozed to make way for internet cafés, and RPG fans reminisce fondly about when people thought they were evil and dangerous rather than geeky and socially inept. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Ingelsk's national animal is the ailurus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ingelsk is ranked 15,694th in the world and 915th in Balder for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 6,008.87 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
