The República Democrática of Estados Socialistas Unidos de Iberia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by David Zaplana with an even hand, and notable for its public floggings, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 3.566 billion Ibéricos are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zaplanápolis. The average income tax rate is 88.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Iberian economy, worth 667 trillion Pesetas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Tourism, Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 187,289 Pesetas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Money can't buy happiness but it can buy immunity to prosecution, nations across the world are quick to praise David Zaplana's good looks and intellectual prowess, motorcycle riders are required to wear so much gear they've been nicknamed "Stay Pufts", and nobody is allowed to stop the local daycare from reading Nietzsche to pre-schoolers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Estados Socialistas Unidos de Iberia's national animal is the Orca, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Deísmo tecno-druidista.

Estados Socialistas Unidos de Iberia is ranked 228,614^th in the world and 645^th in The Communist Bloc for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -4.34 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
