The Lucky Gold Holy Christmas of Inclement Space is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Hetman Vasyl Fournier with a fair hand, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, anti-smoking policies, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 2.204 billion Inclement Spacers are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Belfast. The average income tax rate is 95.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Inclement Space economy, worth 393 trillion liquid platinums 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 178,580 liquid platinums, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The military recognizes no difference between male and female soldiers, wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations", school football matches are usually five-a-side, and a passport is literally priceless. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Inclement Space's national animal is the homo veneri, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Islam.

Inclement Space is ranked 3,388^th in the world and 175^th in The North Pacific for Safest, scoring 137.56 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
