The Oppressed Peoples of Iwanko is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and parental licensing program. The hard-working population of 4.447 billion Iwankoans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 24.0%.

The Iwankoan economy, worth 200 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Uranium Mining, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 45,068 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Prime commercial land is being swamped with archaeological teams, programmes of questionable content are shown at peak-hours, citizens seem fixated on 105m x 45m rectangles, and mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Iwanko's national animal is the Kitsune, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Iwanko is ranked 104,273^rd in the world and 3^rd in Alpha Corvus for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,192.02 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
