The Democratic Republic of Intaba is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Mpho Tsholofelo with a fair hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, otherworldly petting zoo, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 10.449 billion amaIntabas love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Phelamanga. The average income tax rate is 69.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Intaban economy, worth 582 trillion Inkomoes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 55,699 Inkomoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's museums are real penny-pinchers, sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed, life expectancies inside correctional facilities vastly exceed the national average, and the Treasury has been accused of flushing money down the toilet. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Intaba's national animal is the White Rhinoceros, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Intaba is ranked 31,308th in the world and 3rd in Moneylania for Lowest Crime Rates, with 81.97 law-abiding acts per hour.
