The Commonwealth of Intermountain States is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by President George Costanza with an even hand, and notable for its national health service, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 20.808 billion Americans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Defense, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lincoln. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.4%.

The powerhouse Intermountain Statesian economy, worth a remarkable 2,428 trillion Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 116,694 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 7.7 times as much as the poorest.

Real power lies not in the debating room but with those who decide what is debated, children need to wear helmets and safety harnesses before mounting a carousel horse, Eau de Trashcan has become a wildly popular perfume, and business leaders commend the government for enacting a emissions reduction strategy that reduces no Intermountain Statesian emissions at all. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Intermountain States's national animal is the Bald Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Intermountain States is ranked 81,715th in the world and 4th in Ordis for Safest, scoring 90.2 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
