The CosmopolitanState of The IGER Civilization is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by the State Control Council with a fair hand, and remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, pith helmet sales, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 22.238 billion Citizens of the IGER are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Visp on Planet Earth. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient IGER economy, worth an astonishing 11,608 trillion IGER-Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is a breathtaking 522,022 IGER-Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Witches' brews set off Geiger counters, political detractors refer to the State Control Council as 'that Bigtopian puppet', badminton was recently banned due to 'unacceptable violence' inherent to the game, and snitches get riches. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The IGER Civilization's national animal is the Sphinx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is scienctific atheism.

The IGER Civilization is ranked 333,323rd in the world and 2nd in SICON for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -11.42 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
