The Colony of Iuoea is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Bob Newhart with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 16.807 billion Iuoeans 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 Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wisdom City. The average income tax rate is 34.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Iuoean economy, worth 961 trillion rupees a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 57,208 rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Separatists boast glistening offices on Wisdom City's Embassy Row, X-Files ratings have hit an all-time low, military officials are questioning the policy of ceding the nation's territory in exchange for promises not to invade it, and critical thinking is grounds for expulsion from university. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Iuoea's national animal is the swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Anabaptist.

Iuoea is ranked 224,237^th in the world and 1^st in Coronado for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 232.13 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
