The Green Archipelago of Southern Inter-pret is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Isle Minister Alto with a fair hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.113 billion Interians 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 large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Konklave. The average income tax rate is 80.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Interian economy, worth 233 trillion Inters 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 major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 110,411 Inters, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The standardised national curriculum requires that all-male classes be taught why they have periods, a formerly quiet little town is now booming as both a cult centre and a tourist attraction, frequent fliers are obliged to submit to invasive security procedures by government security, and relations with Dàguó have warmed from frosty to chilly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Southern Inter-pret's national animal is the Saltwater Axolotl, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Southern Inter-pret is ranked 60,396th in the world and 367th in Europe for Most Patriotic, with 27.33 flags saluted per person per day.
