The Empire of Ibero-hispania is a large, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, avowedly heterosexual populace, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 62 million Ibero-hispanians 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 Defense, Spirituality, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 9.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Ibero-hispanian economy, worth 3.25 trillion Real Españols a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 52,428 Real Españols, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Children deemed 'disorderly' or otherwise unfit for public schools are shipped off to military academies, tardiness has increased after carpooling was classified as a criminal offense, new safety regulations require all cars manufactured in Ibero-hispania to be bombproof, and rugby players that knock each other over always stop to make sure the other fellow is okay. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Ibero-hispania's national animal is the Águila bicéfala, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Ibero-hispania is ranked 92,906^th in the world and 83^rd in The Eternal Order for Most Patriotic, with 15.85 flags saluted per person per day.
