The Commonwealth of Idanware is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Nicolas Aguilar with an even hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, sprawling nuclear power plants, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 3.274 billion Idanians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.
The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aurora Bay. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.8%.
The frighteningly efficient Idanian economy, worth 498 trillion Dracmas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 152,389 Dracmas, with the richest citizens earning 7.2 times as much as the poorest.
No cul-de-sac or trailer park is complete without a gambling parlor, politicians accost strangers in the street to ask their problems, officials pull all-nighters to check immigrants for potential links to terrorists, and Emperor Nicolas Aguilar's family members carry literal get-out-of-jail-free cards. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Idanware's national animal is the Blue Whale, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Christianity.
Idanware is ranked 69,591st in the world and 63rd in Eientei Gensokyo for Lowest Crime Rates, with 70.12 law-abiding acts per hour.
