The Commonwealth of Ivelboria is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Éthan Avéringue with an even hand, and renowned for its parental licensing program, infamous sell-swords, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 22.73 billion Ivelborians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Djurma. The average income tax rate is 97.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Ivelborian economy, worth a remarkable 3,342 trillion Ivelborian Bourbonnes a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 147,032 Ivelborian Bourbonnes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates, couples kissing on the street are detained for 'unlawful exchange of genetic material', directors of low-budget sci-fi films are flocking to use Djurma as a backdrop, and Éthan Avéringue has been nicknamed 'Robomop'. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ivelboria's national animal is the Guinea Pig, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Ivelboria is ranked 324,569^th in the world and 3^rd in Veropa for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 4,410.97 Standard Monetary Units.
