The Empire of Intelligent Neighbors is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.395 billion are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Defence, although Law & Order and Commerce are secondary priorities. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 77%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Uranium Mining industry.

Citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over Intelligent Neighbors, military spending recently hit a new high, newborns are being raised as mindless killing machines, and military service is compulsory. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Intelligent Neighbors's national animal is the White Tyger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Pound.
