The Republic of IE-68 is a huge, pleasant nation, notable for its burgeoning lion population. The hard-working population of 530 million IE-68ians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 16.6%.

The IE-68ian economy, worth 24.4 trillion pounds a year, is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Gambling, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 46,060 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 capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. IE-68's national animal is the lion.

IE-68 is ranked 294,835^th in the world and 1^st in Singularity for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -8.37 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
