The Republic of Iultinsky District is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 560 million Iultinsky Districtians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 50.5%.

The powerhouse Iultinsky Districtian economy, worth 54.3 trillion Ducats a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 97,000 Ducats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are prohibited from raising their voice above thirty decibels in commercial districts, crocodile roadkill is smeared across the asphalt of the new Formula One track, religious organizations are being forced to leave the country or pay income taxes like everybody else, and glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Iultinsky District's national animal is the Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Iultinsky District is ranked 248,621^st in the world and 484^th in Novaya Zemlya for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -5.8 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
