The State of Iamu is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed population of 32.315 billion Iamuans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 47.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Iamuan economy, worth a remarkable 1,606 trillion betales 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 Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 49,709 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, the government is reigning in public spending, Iamu has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Iamu in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Iamu's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Iamu is ranked 87,836th in the world and 490th in 0000 for Most Stationary, with 522.05878393772 days.
