The Holy Roman Empire of Idumetala is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Altu Idiabalipi with a fair hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, pith helmet sales, and prohibition of alcohol. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 10.158 billion Iduwetalazis 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 juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aweli Iduwetalazi. The average income tax rate is 92.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Idumetalan economy, worth a remarkable 2,033 trillion covetables a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 200,186 covetables, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.
Motorists must pay to enter inner-cities during peak hours, people say chess victor Altu Idiabalipi can kill you with mind-bullets, the tenet of free speech is held dear, and Altu Idiabalipi is considering changing the nation's name to Blackacre. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Idumetala's national animal is the leviathigoat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Jajaqibibz Idumetalazi.
Idumetala is ranked 290,501st in the world and 1st in Lalidibz Iduwetalazi Kawadqib for Most Primitive, scoring -703.52 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
