The Island of Introvert Hill is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Grip with an even hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, compulsory military service, and daily referendums. The compassionate population of 11.367 billion introverts are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, 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 Altair. The average income tax rate is 99.6%.

The frighteningly efficient introverted economy, worth a remarkable 3,044 trillion raven feathers 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 267,799 raven feathers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Groups of government workers are declared protected tribes if they venture too deep into the Capitol, the government denies any involvement in the release of the Hot Load computer virus, election results are often delayed for weeks to count the expat votes, and gay couples have to travel to Brancaland to find a church that will actually let them wed. 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 ancient raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Quothian.

Introvert Hill is ranked 2,127^th in the world and 4^th in Karma for Most Cultured, scoring 253 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
