The Republic of Iespao is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Einsten with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 2.966 billion Iespanians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Iespao City. The average income tax rate is 42.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Iespaoan economy, worth 257 trillion Dóllars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 86,954 Dóllars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Paper and ink publications are subsidised by the government to keep them in the black, there's no weight to modern politics, signs saying "No Poor People or Weirdoes" are common outside shops and cafés, and Einsten has just been declared ruler of Iespao in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Iespao's national animal is the Parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Iespao is ranked 254,683^rd in the world and 5,151^st in The North Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -167.05 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
