Background Ineedsleep was founded in May 2004, by a group of refugees seeking a better nights sleep. For a while they just dozed in their new land, but soon discovered the fun of interacting with their neighbouring nations.

Climate: Long cold winters. The harbour freezes over and everybody hibernates.

Terrain: A mountainous region with a narrow strip of fertile coastline with dense forests.

  • highest point: Mount Freax
  • lowest point: Yawn harbour

Population:

  • Ineedsleep mainland: 1.127 billion
  • TranquilityPrime: 880 million

Nationality: Sleepyian

Country name:

  • long form: The Democratic Republic of Ineedsleep
  • short forms: Ineedsleep, INS

Administrative divisions:

  • 4 cities: Yawn, Bedtime, Snooze Town, Dreamsville
  • 3 regions: North Ineedsleep, Chocolate Fields, Sleepyian Heartland, South Ineedsleep
  • 1 dependency: TranquilityPrime (responsible for defense and foreign affairs)

Government:

  • Council of Elders: Doc Dwarf, Grumpy Dwarf, Snow White, Happy Dwarf
  • Ineedsleep Parliament: led by Prime Snoozer Sleepy Dwarf

Political parties: Trust the Dwarfs or TtD, Wake Up And Smell the Coffee or WUASC, Socialists, Ineedsleep First

Flag: A crescent moon in a midnight blue sky with a dark green strip along the bottom.

Economy: It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of the Environment, Education, and Social Welfare. The average income tax rate is 100%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

The Ineedsleep Lemon Enforcement Agency has launched a campaign against growing, manufacturing, or trafficking of the illicit lemonade, or its primaries - lemons and sugar. Border controls have be tightened.

Currency: The biscuit - the only currency to solve all problems of inflation and hoarding by being both eatable and perishable.

Disputes international: Ineedsleep has tried to maintain neutrality in the increasingly unstable SouthEast section of the West Pacific. It has close ties with it's neighbours Nadnerb, Minineenee and Zetaone, but also a long-standing friendship and support for Gosstoepia.
