Ingentium

The Kingdom of Ingentium (pronounced: In-gen-tee-um), or simply known as Ingentium is a nation involved in the Alternate Future of Europe (MOaP), and originated from the Confederation of Switzerland. Founded in 2137, Ingentium has full control over the British Isles after the Miracine Expansion.

Ingentium is a huge, safe nation, notable for its irreverence toward religion. Its compassionate population of 247 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

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 Defence, Education, and Law & Order. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oplioha. The average income tax rate is 63%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Pizza Delivery industries.



Government officials frequently cut taxes as a distraction from antics with their secretaries, Ingentium has designated Oplioha as its capital city, all beauty contests have been banned, and the government seeks peaceful forum with terrorists. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ingentium's national animal is the Car, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Serra.

History
After Being founded in 2137, during World War Three, Ingentium already had control over most of Western Europe, until The Miracine Expanision, that is. After fighting a losing war against Miracium, they decided to give Independence to Brabrantium, but keeping them as allies. That didn't suffice, however, because Miracium was still too overwhelming.

It was until 2238, that almost all territory was taken, and Ingentium and their ally almost signed a treaty, but the Miracine people revolted and were involved in a violent revolution, which caused it to collapse. With them gone, Ingentium then unified the entire British isles, and kept a alliance with Brabrantium.

From his point forward, Ingentium remained quiet, and watched European affairs from  a distance. Until expanding the alliance to include France, Germany, and Faroe, and now Poland. World War Four (2410-) is now raging on, and Ingentium is part of it.

Power and Culture
Ingentium was once considered a great power during World War Three, but their influnce shrunk with their land, but regained it's former status from having the Third highest economy in Europe, after Vintome and Yevorana.

Ingentium's citizens are very friendly, polite, and love to have barbecues, much like Canadians before the North American Depression of 2067.
