The Fiefdom of Iaeou is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Chris Cuomo with an iron fist, and remarkable for its irreverence towards religion and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 16.277 billion Iaeouans 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 medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Copenhagen. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 17.4%.

The Iaeouan economy, worth 676 trillion rubles a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 41,585 rubles, with the richest citizens earning 8.5 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are expected to be proficient in at least five languages, foreign lack of enthusiasm for Iaeouan nose-flute disco metal is seen as a reasonable casus belli, diaper ads feature vertically-challenged adults wearing bootees, and suburban backyards are seized by the government and turned into national parks. Crime is a problem. Iaeou's national animal is the porpoise, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Yaruba.

Iaeou is ranked 194,237^th in the world and 1,463^rd in Pacifism for Highest Drug Use, scoring 104.58 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
