The Republic of Iageeknod is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, deadly medical pandemics, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.13 billion Iageeknodians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 84.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Iageeknodian economy, worth a remarkable 1,242 trillion Yen a year, is led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 152,854 Yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Theft is considered to be okay if the crime happened a long time ago, a favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts, children gain their first sex education from reading the dictionary, and bins outnumber trees in city parks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Iageeknod's national animal is the Scorpion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Iageeknod is ranked 9,076^th in the world and 1,154^th in Two for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 10,198.72 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
