The Liberationist Republic of Iridyia is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Lukas Krysnika with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 6.618 billion Iridyians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Irisyde. The average income tax rate is 44.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Iridyian economy, worth 275 trillion Aureas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 41,681 Aureas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The military refers to helpless combatants offering surrender as "sitting ducks", Red Cross demand for body bags is rising while sutures go unused, many friends and relatives of Lukas Krysnika have been given ambassador jobs in tropical island nations, and convicted felons are forced into slavery for their crimes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Iridyia's national animal is the Pheonix, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is State Atheism.

Iridyia is ranked 106,058^th in the world and 14^th in Azure Watester Federation for Lowest Crime Rates, with 65.16 law-abiding acts per hour.
