The Empire of IE-08 is a huge, pleasant nation, remarkable for its burgeoning unicorn population. The hard-working population of 523 million IE-08ians 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, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 18.3%.

The IE-08ian economy, worth 23.1 trillion rubles a year, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Tourism. Average income is 44,254 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. IE-08's national animal is the unicorn.

IE-08 is ranked 271,204^th in the world and 1^st in Delphi for Largest Populations, with 523 million capita.
