The Federation of Irakian State is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 268 million Levantians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.4%.

The very strong Levantian economy, worth 16.3 trillion Levantine Dinars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Trout Farming, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 60,883 Levantine Dinars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 202,641 per year while the poor average 13,630, a ratio of 14.9 to 1.

Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Irakian State's national animal is the Partridge.

Irakian State is ranked 78,611^th in the world and 18^th in Council of Nations for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 100 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
