The Yay-novan State of Ienovo is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by François with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, complete lack of prisons, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 17.132 billion Ienovoans 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Scottville. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 36.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Ienovoan economy, worth a remarkable 4,227 trillion Ienovan dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 246,764 Ienovan dollars, with the richest citizens earning 7.3 times as much as the poorest.

Prematurely retired barristers twitch in anxiety when they talk about their courtroom experiences, metal detectors have been banned after a bottle cap caused a riot at the beach, cigarettes are dead-cheap, and politicians always seem to take two steps forward then three steps back. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ienovo's national animal is the Fox, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Ienovo is ranked 81,615^th in the world and 12^th in Aura for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 348.53 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
