The Unified Democratic States of Inven is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Franz Liszt with a fair hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, complete lack of prisons, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 11.124 billion Invenians 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, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Creativ. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Invenian economy, worth a remarkable 2,641 trillion IUDS a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 237,420 IUDS, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Saying "don't do anything that Franz Liszt wouldn't do" doesn't exclude a great deal, the new national campaign exhorts men to "Show Some Class - Don't Sit On Your Ass", bowling teams spend more time looking at their phones than the pins, and refugees from other nations are flocking to Inven's border. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Inven's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Inven is ranked 1,101st in the world and 45th in The North Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 5,217.65 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
