The Republic of Iagresn is a colossal, cultured nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, free-roaming dinosaurs, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 6.813 billion Iagresnians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 85.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Iagresnian economy, worth 885 trillion Dollars a year, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 129,920 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Libraries are refusing to stock A Midsummer Night's Dream because it has an ass in it, children fear compulsory visits to their spiritual advisors more than the dentist, a degree of self-hatred is vital for a future in politics, and the government is frequently held to ransom by the increasing demands of bloodthirsty pirates. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Iagresn's national animal is the Python, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Iagresn is ranked 10,758^th in the world and 1,894^th in Two for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 9,394.09 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
