The Dominion of Impla Islands is a large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its infamous sell-swords, rampant corporate plagiarism, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 156 million Implants have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 22.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Impla Islandsian economy, worth 11.6 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 74,149 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Rogue nations are placing suspiciously large bulk orders for student laptops, battlefield gains are quickly lost when enemies don't respect a time-out, some people will do literally anything to be in the spotlight, and promising seven years of bad luck leads to seven years of community service. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Impla Islands's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Impla Islands is ranked 65,624^th in the world and 146^th in Starlight for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 145.77 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
