The Emirate of Iereia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Syndarian Tha Predian with a fair hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.882 billion Iereians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wyedarieoa. The average income tax rate is 90.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Iereian economy, worth 508 trillion leiahas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 130,974 leiahas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Community organizers have given up going door to door because nobody is home, the nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, dog owners proudly declare that their pups can predict when the mailman will arrive, and physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques. Crime is totally unknown. Iereia's national animal is the damaerina, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Iereia is ranked 81,307th in the world and 182nd in Forest for Most Secular, with 18.01 Atheism Rate.
