The Commune of Ima is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by The Commune with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 10.511 billion Imen 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 enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sânz. The average income tax rate is 95.8%.

The all-consuming Iman economy, worth a remarkable 1,334 trillion Labour Vouchers 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 mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 126,923 Labour Vouchers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, a vast monorail network carries people all over the country, mountain rescue missions can end with more people lost than found, and libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars. Crime is totally unknown. Ima's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ima is ranked 289,008^th in the world and 1,328^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.38 kickbacks per hour.
