The Idol of Iori Minase is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Iori Minase with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 9.703 billion Iori Minaseans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tokyo. The average income tax rate is 90.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Iori Minasean economy, worth a remarkable 2,156 trillion yen 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 led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 222,255 yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The national guard is mobilized whenever a mother gets separated from her child at the mall, children spend all morning taking out a comma and all afternoon putting it back in again, dinner parties often end in politically charged fist fights, and the needs of the living outweigh the needs of the dead. Crime is totally unknown. Iori Minase's national animal is the raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Violetism.

Iori Minase is ranked 152,971^st in the world and 1,164^th in Ambition for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 8,113.87 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
