The Republic of IWould is a titanic, efficient nation, renowned for its frequent executions, feral children, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 19.927 billion IWouldians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 31.1%.

The powerhouse IWouldian economy, worth a remarkable 1,772 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is 88,947 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 284,717 per year while the poor average 21,093, a ratio of 13.5 to 1.

The government is a proud sponsor of the National Gaming Association, supervisors in IWould commonly tie bells on their necks to alert employees of their presence, agreeing to appear on TV is often the best way to access social care, and newborns are being raised as mindless killing machines. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. IWould's national animal is the elephant, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

IWould is ranked 309,363^rd in the world and 322^nd in NationStates for Nicest Citizens, with 0.72 average smiles per day.
