Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Holy Republic of Western Raby Iandiake is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by The Chosen One with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, public floggings, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.221 billion Western Raby Iandiakeans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Forandi. The average income tax rate is 67.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Western Raby Iandiakean economy, worth 210 trillion Florins a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 94,681 Florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Young people avoid opening doors for the elderly with impunity, Beef-Based Agriculture facilities are being turned into Phoenix habitats, soldiers who shoot themselves in the foot are regarded as heroes, and Tom and Jerry cartoons have cat and mouse resolving their problems with reasoned discussion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Western Raby Iandiake's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Thenocracism.

Western Raby Iandiake is ranked 62,961^st in the world and 1,848^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 120.13 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
