The Imperial Domains of Iyum is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Emperor Yermaz with a fair hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service. The compassionate, democratic population of 11.642 billion Iyumians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Healthcare, with Education, Welfare, and Environment also on the agenda, while Industry isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ro'an. The average income tax rate is 47.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Iyumian economy, worth 345 trillion Denas a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 29,619 Denas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians always seem to take two steps forward then three steps back, the nation faces constant invasions by foreign boy bands, the government is spending billions of Denas on helping citizens find spiritual enlightenment, and private law firms are unheard of. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Iyum's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Iyum is ranked 52,707^th in the world and 15^th in Gypsy Lands for Smartest Citizens, with 42.79 quips per hour.
