The Imperial Domains of Iyum is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Emperor Yermaz with a fair hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service. The compassionate, democratic population of 11.449 billion Iyumians 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, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Healthcare, with Welfare, Education, and Environment also on the agenda, while Industry receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ro'an. The average income tax rate is 48.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Iyumian economy, worth 342 trillion Denas a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 29,906 Denas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians always seem to take two steps forward then three steps back, the nation faces constant invasions by foreign boy bands, the government is spending billions of Denas on helping citizens find spiritual enlightenment, and private law firms are unheard of. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Iyum's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Iyum is ranked 293,022^nd in the world and 49^th in Gypsy Lands for Highest Average Incomes, with 29,906.98 Standard Monetary Units.
