The Grand Duchy of Iyari is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Arch-Duke Jefferson Iyari with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, keen interest in outer space, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, democratic, cheerful population of 40.994 billion Iyarians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government is primarily concerned with Education, although Environment, Healthcare, and Defense are also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Taracco. The average income tax rate is 39.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Iyarian economy, worth a remarkable 5,381 trillion Guineas a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Gambling. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 131,285 Guineas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

People seem disproportionately distraught when told a museum has a phones-off policy, the nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks, Arch-Duke Jefferson Iyari has been nicknamed 'Robomop', and behind every local dictator is an Iyarian advisor whispering in their ear. Crime is totally unknown. Iyari's national animal is the Cheat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Iyari is ranked 3,324^th in the world and 24^th in Wysteria for Smartest Citizens, with 150.93 quips per hour.
