The Flowery Fiefdom of Irisopolis is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, zero percent divorce rate, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 2.297 billion Irisopolisians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 80.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Irisopolisian economy, worth 200 trillion Rosebucks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 87,358 Rosebucks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens with artificial limbs are forbidden to serve as beauty pageant judges, trade policy consists of ganging up on the new guy, a referendum must be held in order for any new law to be passed, and Leader's perky ego is the talk of the town. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Irisopolis's national animal is the Flower Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Irisopolis is ranked 239,939th in the world and 4th in Flowerland for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -4.34 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
