The Colony of Intser Space Program is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, notable for its ban on automobiles, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.177 billion Pioneers 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 large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 66.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Pioneering economy, worth 187 trillion Labor vouchers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 36,242 Labor vouchers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, the saying 'break a leg' is now taken literally, the Violetist community celebrates bombshells being dropped on Intser Space Program, and feuilletons can only be deciphered with a Galliennais dictionary. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Intser Space Program's national animal is the New Intser Person, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Intser Space Program is ranked 276,928^th in the world and 7^th in 001 Alpha Prime for Highest Average Incomes, with 36,242.03 Standard Monetary Units.
