The Holy Agnostic Empire of Ibernal is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Mandregul Ibernal Obriotarth with an iron fist, and remarkable for its strictly enforced bedtime, smutty television, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 13.955 billion Ibernalians 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 is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while Environment and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gran Ibernalio Naciente. The average income tax rate is 62.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Ibernalian economy, worth a remarkable 3,339 trillion Lexells 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. 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 an amazing 239,320 Lexells, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Soldiers are taught to throw their guns at their enemies once the bullets have run out, fur coats have become the latest fashion trend, major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, and truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ibernal's national animal is the Desserian Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Mandregulism.

Ibernal is ranked 288,683^rd in the world and 6,950^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Beautiful Environments, with 2.91 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
