The Republic of Iterator is a titanic, genial nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of prisons, and frequent executions. The compassionate, devout population of 14.865 billion Iteratorians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 19.7%.

The Iteratorian economy, worth 724 trillion rubles a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 48,729 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Interviewees for teaching jobs are waterboarded to "reveal undesirable histories", voting for pro-Bigtopian candidates is voluntary, government spending has hit an all-time low, and balaclava manufacturers are held criminally culpable for bank heists. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Iterator's national animal is the emu, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Iterator is ranked 149,020^th in the world and 1^st in accepts for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 1,546.14 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
