The Republic of Northeast Iowa is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its frequent executions, vat-grown people, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 715 million Moineans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Moines. The average income tax rate is 8.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Northeast Iowan economy, worth 56.6 trillion US Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Pizza Delivery, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 79,214 US Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

A handful of megacorporations own every "craft brewery" in the nation, the justice of Northeast Iowa is considered superior to that of other nations, there are major delays at immigration checkpoints as travellers are forced to prove they belong to a major religion, and it's said that Leader can turn every pleasure into a chore. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force. Northeast Iowa's national animal is the Bear.

Northeast Iowa is ranked 218,632^nd in the world and 1^st in Soysphere for Largest Populations, with 715 million capita.
