The AI Corrupted Polish Republic of Iquerian is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by First Marshal Aleksander Jabłonowski with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, rampant corporate plagiarism, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.465 billion Poles are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of North Pole. The average income tax rate is 79.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Polish Iquerian economy, worth 621 trillion Gold Bars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 252,178 Gold Bars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Toast never burns but always has a weird chemical taste, heart attack victims are thrown onto the rails, atheists and evolutionary biologists are fleeing the country like rats from a sinking ship, and the nation leads Europe in per capita stalking. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Iquerian's national animal is the Pegasus Spyware, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is M O C Z A R.

Iquerian is ranked 16,670^th in the world and 124^th in Europe for Most Patriotic, with 51.59 flags saluted per person per day.
