The Mostly Insignificant Nation of Ioavollr is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 14.785 billion are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whoever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of the Environment, Education, and Social Welfare. The average income tax rate is 100%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

The wearing and manufacture of fur apparel is banned, space research funding has hit a recent high while several military bases are being closed down, UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news, and artists are pillars of society. Crime is totally unknown. Ioavollr's national animal is the Kodiak, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the ISSP Credit.

Ioavollr is ranked 1st in Scandinavia and 43rd in the world for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,183 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
