The AI Corrupted Polish Republic of Iquerian is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by First Marshal Aleksander Jabłonowski with an iron fist, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.424 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 77.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Polish Iquerian economy, worth 607 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 250,569 Gold Bars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Bruised children are made to thank their bullies for the valuable life lessons, UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news, old folks reminisce about the last time someone was acquitted of a crime, and refugee camp conversions to M O C Z A R are increasingly common. 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 283,798th in the world and 1,411th in Europe for Safest, scoring 5.78 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
