The Iorisenial Isles of Ioresca is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Lumuosni Ray with a fair hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, infamous sell-swords, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 2.443 billion Iorescans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Blumisetris. The average income tax rate is 94.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Ioresh economy, worth 437 trillion prayats a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 178,948 prayats, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is avowedly secular, children spend all morning taking out a comma and all afternoon putting it back in again, it is popularly believed that "cheese every day keeps disaster away", and Lumuosni Ray has more friends than ever before. Crime is totally unknown. Ioresca's national animal is the Ioresh Sheep, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Erutanism.

Ioresca is ranked 53,648^th in the world and 607^th in The North Pacific for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 75.89 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
