The Republic of Iversonia Nation is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Sovereign with an even hand, and notable for its public floggings, triple-decker prams, and fear of technology. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 11.176 billion Iversonia Nationians 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 enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mesopotamia. The average income tax rate is 86.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Iversonia Nationian economy, worth a remarkable 1,171 trillion gold coins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 104,820 gold coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

The nation tends not to learn from its history, welfare recipients are milking the government for all they've got, sleep-deprived officials are known to collapse after late night revision for their examinations, and prison is a nightmare. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Iversonia Nation's national animal is the Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Melchizedek Order.

Iversonia Nation is ranked 22,505^th in the world and 5^th in Ancient for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 7,560.53 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
