The Empire of Iwonia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Emperor Angel I with an iron fist, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, aversion to nipples, and disturbing lack of elderly people. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 8.485 billion Iwonians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kiyo-Konsa. The average income tax rate is 95.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Iwonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,729 trillion Iwonian Pesos 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 203,884 Iwonian Pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Signs at the border tell international drivers where they can put their cars, the government's economic policy can be summed up as "Abort, Retry, Fail?", birds and children's kites are regularly brought down by anti-aircraft fire, and medical staff can legally quiet people who ask for a second helping of Salisbury steak. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Iwonia's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Iwonia is ranked 156,159th in the world and 83rd in Anteria for Most Stationary, with 139.2507442128 days.
