The Emirate of Iereia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Syndarian Tha Predian with a fair hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, digital currency, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.871 billion Iereians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wyedarieoa. The average income tax rate is 90.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Iereian economy, worth 506 trillion leiahas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 130,813 leiahas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People are raising their middle finger to non-digital currencies, babies are a small but significant export, Occam's razor has sliced to pieces any childhood belief in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy, and a bill to outlaw math homework has been submitted. Crime is totally unknown. Iereia's national animal is the damaerina, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Iereia is ranked 182,486^th in the world and 144^th in Forest for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 911.18 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
