The Empire of Iwonia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Angel I with an iron fist, and renowned for its state-planned economy, vat-grown people, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 8.636 billion Iwonians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kiyo-Konsa. The average income tax rate is 95.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Iwonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,762 trillion Iwonian Pesos 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, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 204,045 Iwonian Pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Medical staff can legally quiet people who ask for a second helping of Salisbury steak, it isn't only obsequious grandees who produce a lot of manure at state occasions, panicking criminals no longer flush contraband down the toilet, and talkative students are escorted from schools in second-hand prison buses. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Iwonia's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catholicism.
Iwonia is ranked 184,369th in the world and 98th in Anteria for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring zero on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
