The Imperial Domains of Iyum is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Emperor Yermaz with a fair hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.32 billion Iyumians 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 medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Healthcare, with Education and Welfare also on the agenda, while Industry isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ro'an. The average income tax rate is 35.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Iyumian economy, worth 207 trillion Denas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 32,851 Denas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Adverts proclaim it has to be healthy if the Mornay uses hand-grated Gallopavian Gruyère, politicians always seem to take two steps forward then three steps back, the nation faces constant invasions by foreign boy bands, and the government is spending billions of Denas on helping citizens find spiritual enlightenment. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Iyum's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Iyum is ranked 107,713^th in the world and 21^st in Gypsy Lands for Lowest Crime Rates, with 64.96 law-abiding acts per hour.
