The Highlands of Introvert Hill is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Shade with an even hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, punitive income tax rates, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, devout population of 14.921 billion introverts are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Umbrapolis. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient introverted economy, worth a remarkable 4,252 trillion candors a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 285,008 candors, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign nations often blame poverty and terrorism on introverted selfishness, the nation's soldiers sleep four to a bed in order to use space economically, Shade has more friends than ever before, and raindances intended to summon storms instead attract tourists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Introvert Hill's national animal is the raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Hedonism.

Introvert Hill is ranked 607th in the world and 3rd in Karma for Most Developed, scoring 98.97 on the Human Development Index.
