The Grand Duchy of Iyari is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Arch-Duke Jefferson Iyari with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, rampant corporate plagiarism, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic, cheerful population of 44.895 billion Iyarians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government is primarily concerned with Education, with Environment, Defense, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Taracco. The average income tax rate is 40.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Iyarian economy, worth a remarkable 6,010 trillion Guineas a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Gambling. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 133,881 Guineas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Where there's a will there is usually a password manager, the police turn a blind eye to desecration if it's done in the name of religion or protest, crossword puzzles have been co-opted as a symbol of racial discrimination, and most towns have their Arch-Duke Jefferson Iyari High School located on Arch-Duke Jefferson Iyari Street. Crime is totally unknown. Iyari's national animal is the Cheat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Iyari is ranked 44,750^th in the world and 23^rd in Wysteria for Lowest Crime Rates, with 75.85 law-abiding acts per hour.
