The Iorisenial Isles of Ioresca is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Lumuosni Ray with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, unlimited-speed roads, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 2.371 billion Iorescans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Blumisetris. The average income tax rate is 94.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Ioresh economy, worth 419 trillion prayats a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 176,844 prayats, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government-sponsored WiFi allows farmers to rant about city folks in real time, holidaymakers sleep curled up on the floor as hotel beds are replaced with oversized bookcases, friendly revolutionaries are the nation's greatest export, and public spending advocates dread when the government says they're here to help. Crime is totally unknown. Ioresca's national animal is the Ioresh Sheep, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Erutanism.

Ioresca is ranked 5,337th in the world and 227th in The North Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 94.39 on the Human Development Index.
