The Federal Blue Republic of Iglot is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Prime Minister Tony Astor with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and smutty television. The compassionate population of 7.941 billion Iglotians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eksdee City. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Iglotian economy, worth a remarkable 1,528 trillion hatdogs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 192,498 hatdogs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, future forecasters fearfully discuss grey goo and human obsolescence, the government is washing its hands of alleged corruption, and visiting the best Iglotian restaurants requires keeping a visa on file. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Iglot's national animal is the Vampire Wyvern, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Iglot is ranked 1,807^th in the world and 37^th in the West Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 75.6 average smiles per day.
