The United Socialist States of Iwlond is a very large, cultured nation, remarkable for its smutty television, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 407 million Iwlondians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 58.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Iwlondian economy, worth 7.75 trillion scillings 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 Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Trout Farming. Average income is 19,030 scillings, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Road signs are getting harder to read under layers of knitted woolen cardigans, endangered bison are herded across the border to prevent them from trampling on native prairie grass, the importance of winning Olympic gold medals is indoctrinated from an early age, and teachers are skilled at leaving no evidence of child cruelty. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Iwlond's national animal is the Golden Ealge, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Iwlond is ranked 317,534^th in the world and 941^st in Carcassonne for Most Developed, scoring 46.48 on the Human Development Index.
