The AI Corrupted Polish Republic of Iquerian is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by First Marshal Aleksander Jabłonowski with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.44 billion Poles 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, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of North Pole. The average income tax rate is 77.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Polish Iquerian economy, worth 619 trillion Gold Bars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 253,758 Gold Bars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens know never to accept cookies from strangers, rare steaks seem even bluer now, the media have begun calling the government treasury "First Marshal Aleksander Jabłonowski's stash", and government statisticians explain census inaccuracies by declaring that "Sith happens". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Iquerian's national animal is the Pegasus Spyware, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is M O C Z A R.

Iquerian is ranked 7,588th in the world and 63rd in Europe for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 10,610.82 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
