The Advanced Colony of Iosaya is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 28.633 billion Iosayans enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The relatively small, liberal, pro-business government prioritizes Law & Order, although Public Transport, Environment, and Industry are also considered important, while Welfare receives no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.9%.

The strong Iosayan economy, worth a remarkable 1,646 trillion crystal saars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Average income is 57,489 crystal saars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 390,861 per year while the poor average 3,089, a ratio of 126 to 1.

A government program is underway to revitalize Iosaya's beaches, students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas, citizens are frequently held up at gunpoint by their local pizza delivery boys, and Pinkerton agents are called in to forcibly break up white collar strikes. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem. Iosaya's national animal is the eagle.

Iosaya is ranked 198,403^rd in the world and 32^nd in Land for Least Corrupt Governments, with 92.35 percentage of bribes refused.
