The Matriarchy of Ioleta Russell is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and suspicion of poets. The hard-working, cynical population of 883 million Ioleta Russellians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, although Education, Administration, and Healthcare are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. The average income tax rate is 10.9%.

The strong Ioleta Russellian economy, worth 45.7 trillion Kazimierzian marks a year, is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Average income is 51,779 Kazimierzian marks, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.

Cotton candy made from genuine cotton cellulose doesn't quite satisfy, military parades quietly tiptoe their way through the streets, UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news, and former arsonists can be found on local fire brigades. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ioleta Russell's national animal is the Pegasus, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Ioleta Russell is ranked 288,854^th in the world and 55^th in Kazimierz for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -8.12 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
