The Islamic Sultanate of Ibra is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Sultan Ibrahim I with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, anti-smoking policies, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.202 billion Ibrans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yaner City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 53.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Ibran economy, worth 178 trillion Ibranese Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 148,273 Ibranese Pounds, with the richest citizens earning 6.0 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens must have a license to operate a computer, religious turf wars have caused frustrated police to pray for divine intervention, the government has returned all business to private ownership, and angst-filled teenagers are rushing off to buy government bonds for some odd reason. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ibra's national animal is the Tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Sunni Islam.

Ibra is ranked 97,772^nd in the world and 3,619^th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 2,443.52 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
