The Grand Duchy of Iyari is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Arch-Duke Jefferson Iyari with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, democratic, cheerful population of 43.675 billion Iyarians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government is primarily concerned with Education, although Environment, Defense, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Taracco. The average income tax rate is 40.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Iyarian economy, worth a remarkable 5,682 trillion Guineas a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Gambling. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 130,109 Guineas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Dog owners proudly declare that their pups can predict when the mailman will arrive, there's more than one way to skin a diplomat, advertisements for jobs in the sciences run in fashion magazines, and pizzerias must now display shrines to the Pizza God. Crime is totally unknown. Iyari's national animal is the Cheat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Iyari is ranked 158,867^th in the world and 34^th in Wysteria for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 1,081.96 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
