The Phalanxite Empire of Igoria is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Veztazon II Sathrus with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, pith helmet sales, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 27.965 billion Igorians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Glopurg. The average income tax rate is 97.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Igorian economy, worth a remarkable 5,883 trillion Crowns a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 210,372 Crowns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The Foreign Ministry thinks an eye for an eye is a blindingly good idea, people faint regularly as they get stuck with compulsory vaccinations, the Department of Reduction of Bureaucratic Red Tape has set up a working committee to investigate its own excessive paperwork, and scientists are researching the best way to kill off humanity to prevent catastrophic war. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Igoria's national animal is the Fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Myleclesian Ethreism.

Igoria is ranked 25,232^nd in the world and 5^th in Austritaria for Safest, scoring 111.03 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
