The Federal Socialist States of Ikhlaqistan is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Ikhlaq with an even hand, and remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol. Its compassionate, hard-working population of 3.225 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Defence, and Commerce. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Deracus . The average income tax rate is 91%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Tourism and Soda Sales.

Military spending is on the increase, inheritance tax has recently been abolished, long arduous trials are held for the most trivial of offences, and torture is illegal. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ikhlaqistan's national animal is the Black-Hawk Eagle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Sunni Islam, and its currency is the Islaq.

Ikhlaqistan is ranked 2,301st in 10000 Islands and 120,794th in the world for Stupidest Citizens, scoring 5 on the Average Edu-UNtellignce® Test Score.
