The Most Excellent Republic of Ionida is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Orion Sharpe with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.816 billion Ionids are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chauss. The average income tax rate is 89.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ionider economy, worth 939 trillion Ionider Diniroes a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 137,833 Ionider Diniroes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Orion Sharpe has been nicknamed 'Robomop', Chauss's back alleys are rife with sausage eating, weather forecasts are accurate but nobody has the bandwidth to view them, and the media seems excessively interested in what Orion Sharpe is wearing this season. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ionida's national animal is the Blue Dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Ionida is ranked 9,983rd in the world and 18th in Spiritus for Most Cultured, scoring 119 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
