The Grand Socialist Monarchy of Ioseppia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Overlady Jo the Irrationally Paranoid with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, digital currency, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, humorless population of 23.758 billion Ioseppians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Iosingrad. The average income tax rate is 99.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Ioseppian economy, worth a remarkable 5,975 trillion Ioseppian Bytes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 251,516 Ioseppian Bytes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation locks people up and tells them they're mad for compassion's sake, spoiler warnings are now given out before political speeches, children are disappointed to learn that cavemen never had a yabba-dabba-doo time riding dinosaurs to work, and public footpaths are being slowly eroded by the burgeoning number of ramblers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ioseppia's national animal is the Remorseless Starling, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Stupid.

Ioseppia is ranked 293,402^nd in the world and 11,110^th in Osiris for Most Armed, with 0.09 weapons per person.
