The Rising Eagle of Inspiratus is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Claudius Gracchus with an even hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, keen interest in outer space, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, cheerful population of 9.911 billion Inspiratusians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Urbs Altus. The average income tax rate is 62.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Inspiratusian economy, worth a remarkable 2,192 trillion Monetas 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 mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 221,195 Monetas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Shady doctors seem to have impeccable records, workers tend to schedule naps during all-hands meetings, museums stand half-empty as all foreign exhibits are returned to their countries of origin, and graverobbers claim they're acting within the interest of 'scientific preservation'. Crime is totally unknown. Inspiratus's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Illuminatism.

Inspiratus is ranked 11,047^th in the world and 268^th in The North Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 83,611.99 Standard Monetary Units.
