The Constitutional Theocracy of Iandrul is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by President Jackson with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ubiquitous missile silos, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cheerful, devout population of 11.557 billion Iandrulians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westerfall. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 49.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Iandrulian economy, worth a remarkable 2,430 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 210,274 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.

A lot of number one hits are straight cover versions, claims adjusters are uselessly vague, the government is washing its hands of alleged corruption, and drowning sailors are hung out to dry. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Iandrul's national animal is the raven, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Christianity.

Iandrul is ranked 10,245th in the world and 5th in League of Christian Nations for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 403.42 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
