The Democratic Republic of Iueao is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Donald Butiedge with an even hand, and remarkable for its absence of drug laws, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 16.146 billion Iueaoans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of LGB City. The average income tax rate is 64.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Iueaoan economy, worth 300 trillion pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 18,631 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Animal liberationists receive government funding to break into animal research labs, Donald Butiedge has just been declared ruler of Iueao in an international press conference, the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly, and religious fanatics complain of being held down by the earth's gravitational field. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Iueao's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is No state religion.

Iueao is ranked 119,636^th in the world and 1^st in iouae for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 672.01 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
