The Iorisenial Isles of Ioresca is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Lumuosni Ray with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 2.157 billion Iorescans 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 large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Blumisetris. The average income tax rate is 92.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ioresh economy, worth 362 trillion prayats a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 167,998 prayats, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government employees have reverted to carrier pigeon due to never-ending virus scans, destitute athletes are forced to train in the street, religious turf wars have caused frustrated police to pray for divine intervention, and scientists take credit every time it rains in The North Pacific. Crime is totally unknown. Ioresca's national animal is the Ioresh Sheep, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Erutanism.

Ioresca is ranked 265,499^th in the world and 3,991^st in The North Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 6.84 Obesity Rate.
