The Kingdom of Iberia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by King Fernando Tristão II with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 23.74 billion Iberians 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 large, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Madrid. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 31.1%.

The very strong Iberian economy, worth 984 trillion pesos a year, is quite specialized and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 41,489 pesos, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 126,741 per year while the poor average 10,527, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Education and welfare spending are on the rise, Iberia has designated Madrid as its capital city, King Fernando Tristão II has just been declared ruler of Iberia in an international press conference, and Roman Catholicism has been named as Iberia's national religion. Crime is a problem. Iberia's national animal is the aquila and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Iberia is ranked 119,317^th in the world and 4^th in Uchronia for Nicest Citizens, with 12 average smiles per day.
