The Queendom of Iryz is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.559 billion Iryzians 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, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 19.6%.

The Iryzian economy, worth 72.6 trillion Rubles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 46,562 Rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

The tenet of free speech is held dear and organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Iryz's national animal is the horse, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Iryz is ranked 198,025^th in the world and 3^rd in Quaker for Most Cultured, scoring 64 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
