The Republic of Iobaray is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Brendan Aratgoti with an even hand, and renowned for its absence of drug laws, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic, devout population of 12.671 billion Iobarayians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Soupatia. The average income tax rate is 39.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Iobarayian economy, worth 406 trillion baht a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Soda Sales, and Retail. Average income is 32,027 baht, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's sophisticated talk of revolution within the ever-expanding mining colonies, Brendan Aratgoti has just been declared ruler of Iobaray in an international press conference, prankster scientists legally change their names to silly pseudonyms before major discoveries, and litter collection has replaced fast food as the most popular after-school job. Crime is totally unknown. Iobaray's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

Iobaray is ranked 25,822^nd in the world and 7^th in Coalition of Crown Albatross for Highest Drug Use, scoring 370.83 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
