The Republic of Iaoeu

“Twirling Toward Freedom”

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

The Republic of Iaoeu is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Nelson Mandela with a fair hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 11.436 billion Iaoeuans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Upsilvania. The average income tax rate is 36.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Iaoeuan economy, worth 338 trillion rubles 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 black market in Basket Weaving, Trout Farming, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. 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 29,618 rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

National parks have long lines of different gender-specific 'Porta-Pottys', explicit slash fiction is repackaged for kindergarten kids as stories about friends cuddling friends, chewing tree bark proves to have limited value during childbirth, and cases of disease among the civilian population dwindle as civilian population dwindles. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Iaoeu's national animal is the unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Hinduism.

Iaoeu is ranked 185,667^th in the world and 2^nd in Unitarian for Nicest Citizens, with 11.33 average smiles per day.
