The Principality of Ivan Grozny is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its compulsory military service and restrictive gun laws. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 601 million Oprichniks are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 28.1%.

The very strong Ivan Groznyian economy, worth 25.6 trillion Kopeks a year, is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 42,665 Kopeks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 130,333 per year while the poor average 10,825, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ivan Grozny's national animal is the Bear.

Ivan Grozny is ranked 228,209^th in the world and 2^nd in Russian Tsardom for Least Corrupt Governments, with 91.52 percentage of bribes refused.
