The Dictatorship of Iria Tad Ukrana is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its ritual sacrifices, frequent executions, and compulsory vegetarianism. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 264 million Iria Tad Ukranans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 73.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Iria Tad Ukranan economy, worth 5.36 trillion marks 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 a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Pizza Delivery, Retail, and Furniture Restoration. 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 20,303 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The line of people waiting for a visa interview in front of foreign embassies is typically a mile long, having skeletons in one's closet is no longer just a macabre idiom, news editors who eschew the state-approved superlatives for describing Leader tend to disappear, and police drones follow every suspected Peeping Tom. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Iria Tad Ukrana's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Iria Tad Ukrana is ranked 35,479^th in the world and 2^nd in The Great Storm for Most Corrupt Governments, with 61.35 kickbacks per hour.
