The Eternal Promise of IW84U is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Miss Waiting with an iron fist, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, parental licensing program, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 25.235 billion Patients are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Patience. The average income tax rate is 51.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Patient economy, worth a remarkable 2,661 trillion W8s a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 105,474 W8s, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is spending billions of taxpayer W8s to support the Tourism industry, all-natural foods are becoming a major fad, a weakened police force struggles to maintain law and order, and immigrant herding has become a national pastime. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. IW84U's national animal is the jay, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The Waiting.

IW84U is ranked 46,291^st in the world and 2^nd in United Democratic Federation for Lowest Crime Rates, with 75.32 law-abiding acts per hour.
