The AI Corrupted Polish Republic of Iquerian is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by First Marshal Aleksander Jabłonowski with an iron fist, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, pith helmet sales, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.458 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 79.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Polish Iquerian economy, worth 615 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 250,597 Gold Bars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Government statisticians explain census inaccuracies by declaring that "Sith happens", truancy is as easy as clicking a camera icon, toast never burns but always has a weird chemical taste, and heart attack victims are thrown onto the rails. 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 279,185th in the world and 1,357th in Europe for Safest, scoring 5.73 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
