The CosmopolitanState of The IGER Civilization is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by the State Control Council with a fair hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, irreverence towards religion, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 22.113 billion Citizens of the IGER love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Visp on Planet Earth. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient IGER economy, worth an astonishing 11,493 trillion IGER-Credits 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 mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is a breathtaking 519,773 IGER-Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
National parks have long lines of different gender-specific 'Porta-Pottys', drills and shovels have been banned as the government cracks down on any means of fracking, third world countries are rich in "I Love Visp On Planet Earth" t-shirts, and prison walls have had to be modified to keep parkour-trained criminals from escaping. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The IGER Civilization's national animal is the Sphinx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is scienctific atheism.
The IGER Civilization is ranked 105th in the world and 1st in SICON for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 13,771.41 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
