The Queen's State of Iosco is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its punitive income tax rates, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 29.104 billion Ioscoans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Social Policy, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 80.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Ioscoan economy, worth 114 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, highly specialized black market in Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 3,923 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

High-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, elections have been outlawed, organ donation is compulsory, and TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Iosco's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Iosco is ranked 331,503^rd in the world and 1^st in Iosco for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 784.62 Standard Monetary Units.
