The State of Ivanplyos is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. The quiet, industrious population of 11.082 billion Ivanplyosians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 25.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Ivanplyosian economy, worth 454 trillion betales a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Soda Sales, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 40,989 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

A large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway and Ivanplyos has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ivanplyos's national animal is the deer.

Ivanplyos is ranked 99,287^th in the world and 75^th in Ancient Lands for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 2,030.39 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
