The Community of Inkstille is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Bella Basco with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 2.431 billion Inkstilleans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Calphia. The average income tax rate is 73.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Inkstilli economy, worth 299 trillion quills a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 123,198 quills, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military officials are questioning the policy of ceding the nation's territory in exchange for promises not to invade it, skateboarding is considered a form of diplomacy, even religious militants can be swayed by the power of #love, and films are funded in accordance with the volume of tears shed when reading the screenplay. Crime is totally unknown. Inkstille's national animal is the Dumbo Octopus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Inkstille is ranked 5,250th in the world and 263rd in Lazarus for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 59.47 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
