The Republic of Iageeknod is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, parental licensing program, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 6.545 billion Iageeknodians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 75.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Iageeknodian economy, worth 916 trillion Yen a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 140,049 Yen, with the richest citizens earning 6.3 times as much as the poorest.
Endangered bison are herded across the border to prevent them from trampling on native prairie grass, takeaway food bought on the weekend now comes with fifty percent more sweat and tears, skateparks can be found in every city, and drills and shovels have been banned as the government cracks down on any means of fracking. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Iageeknod's national animal is the Scorpion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Iageeknod is ranked 23,666th in the world and 1,754th in Two for Lowest Crime Rates, with 86.89 law-abiding acts per hour.
