The Empire of Iberia y las Colonias is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Rey-Emperador Manuel II with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.269 billion Ibericos are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The large, corrupt, liberal, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Madrid. The average income tax rate is 70.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Iberico economy, worth 132 trillion jalizzes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 104,145 jalizzes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

In life full of care there is no time to stop and stare, Scoutmasters debate whether luxury log cabins defeat the purpose of camping, buses are widely regarded as the safest way to travel, and maps of the enemy's positions are often covered in blood. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Iberia y las Colonias's national animal is the Iberian Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Iberia y las Colonias is ranked 26,328^th in the world and 1,301^st in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 77.02 Law-abiding Acts Per Hour.
