The Matriarchy of Iridescent Mist is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, zero percent divorce rate, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.539 billion Iridescent Mistians 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 Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 59.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Iridescent Mistian economy, worth 726 trillion sparkles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 160,087 sparkles, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 528,446 per year while the poor average 36,282, a ratio of 14.6 to 1.

Leader is worshipped as a god, East Lebatuckese astronauts' favorite game during downtime on the Multinational Space Station is 'I Spy', society and government have been organized according to a feudal hierarchy, and they unpaved paradise and tore up a parking lot (ooh, bop bop bop). Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Iridescent Mist's national animal is the firefly, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Iridescent Mist is ranked 326,590^th in the world and 133^rd in Gardenia Botanicum for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring -3.16 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
