The Matriarchy of Idezvoya is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Josephine II with an even hand, and notable for its national health service, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and ritual sacrifices. The compassionate, devout population of 11.514 billion Idezvoyans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Natangrad. The average income tax rate is 92.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Idezvoyan economy, worth 981 trillion Devoys a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. Average income is 85,276 Devoys, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Parents seeking custody have to write a five-thousand word analysis of their child's imaginary friend, frightened witnesses and seriously ill jurors wear the same handcuffs as the defendant, every day has been a surprise since weather reporters turned to consulting ancient totems for their seven-day forecasts, and producers insist that movie stars wear crash helmets in every scene. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Idezvoya's national animal is the Lioness, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Polytheism.

Idezvoya is ranked 5,007^th in the world and 94^th in The Leftist Assembly for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 2,731.19 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
