The Rising Eagle of Inspiratus is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Claudius Gracchus with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.677 billion Inspiratusians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The relatively small 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 39.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Inspiratusian economy, worth a remarkable 1,892 trillion Monetas a year, is quite 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 218,049 Monetas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Grumpy old house owners demand that pedestrians get off their footpaths, politicians "baring all" for the camera isn't always a figure of speech, crowds of flag-burning protesters tend to accidentally become crowds of burning protesters, and the sanitised and dull music festivals of Inspiratus are famed for their reasonable volume levels. 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 290,117^th in the world and 6,306^th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -30.33 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
