The Republic of IE-18 is a huge, pleasant nation, renowned for its burgeoning wolf population. The hard-working population of 613 million IE-18ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 28.4%.

The IE-18ian economy, worth 21.7 trillion pounds a year, is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 35,414 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. IE-18's national animal is the wolf.

IE-18 is ranked 127,830^th in the world and 1^st in The Cube for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 2,103.84 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
