The Dominions of the Six Unions of Ikruchystan is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by The Forum of the Workers with a fair hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 2.664 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Education, and Social Equality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ankara. The average income tax rate is 85%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Gambling industry, followed by Information Technology and Arms Manufacturing.

Crime has increased substantially since the police concentrated all their efforts on arresting the rich for loitering in their own homes, 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Ikruchystan's radio stations, teenagers across the country are celebrating the defeat of a national curfew bill, and re-education centers are being added to most prisons. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is a major problem, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Ikruchystan's national animal is the Red Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Nakit.

Ikruchystan is ranked 44th in Gholgoth and 86,918th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -3 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
