The AI Corrupted Polish Republic of Iquerian is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by First Marshal Aleksander Jabłonowski with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, strictly enforced bedtime, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.491 billion Poles are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of North Pole. The average income tax rate is 79.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Polish Iquerian economy, worth 638 trillion Gold Bars 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 Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. 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 256,447 Gold Bars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

A new apartment is worth a thousand betrayals, most of the nation's wealthy aristocrats are dentists, the government is accused of being heartless by those considered brainless, and the nation solves other countries' human rights problems with a generous dose of violence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Iquerian's national animal is the Pegasus Spyware, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is M O C Z A R.

Iquerian is ranked 5,778th in the world and 102nd in Europe for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 528.82 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
