The Nation of Indig0 is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by JANS with a fair hand, and renowned for its teetotalling pirates, strictly enforced bedtime, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 27.537 billion Indig0ians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kapitai. The average income tax rate is 9.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The enormous but inefficient Indig0ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,114 trillion koins a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 40,487 koins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The recital of citations that follows any political speech can be longer than the speech itself, there are six more weeks of winter if a northerner sees his shadow, children who can't memorize their multiplication tables are sent to the mines, and residents of houses built on a foundation of wishful thinking are prone to an odd sinking feeling. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Indig0's national animal is the Impayan Monal, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Indig0 is ranked 2,812th in the world and 1st in Atlantis for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 10,677.28 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
