The AI Corrupted Polish Republic of Iquerian is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by First Marshal Aleksander Jabłonowski with an iron fist, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, ubiquitous missile silos, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.407 billion Poles are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of North Pole. The average income tax rate is 77.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Polish Iquerian economy, worth 597 trillion Gold Bars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 248,090 Gold Bars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Hit TV show 'The eXecution Factor' is a critical success, cleaners are very careful not to bump into the big red button on First Marshal Aleksander Jabłonowski's desk, there have been sightings of people walking around dressed in nothing but leopard-skin g-strings for 'religious reasons', and several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Iquerian's national animal is the Pegasus Spyware, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is M O C Z A R.

Iquerian is ranked 8,049^th in the world and 124^th in Europe for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 12,352.6 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
