The Republic of Ignis States is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Strein Iuseira Draksesa Váradi with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, soft-spoken computers, and vat-grown people. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 4.462 billion Ignasae are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Administration are also considered important, while Social Policy and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Radentora. The average income tax rate is 91.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ignisian economy, worth a remarkable 1,816 trillion Draechmais a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 407,149 Draechmais, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Books are so highly regarded in Ignis States that libraries are often revered as holy shrines, gift hampers filled with delicious beef jerky are sent to newly communist nations, there's a literal nanny state for the legions of children taken by social services, and the government is continually probing the galaxy in search of alien life. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ignis States's national animal is the White Kestrel, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Eixuism.

Ignis States is ranked 63,183^rd in the world and 10^th in Northern Ocean for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 3,174.82 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
