The Democratic States of Ioannia is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its burgeoning goldfish population. The democratic population of 1.133 billion Ioannians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 16.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Ioannian economy, worth 66.3 trillion Euros a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Pizza Delivery, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 58,496 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Summer science camps are regularly raided by narcotics police, orphans would rather live their life of luxury than be adopted by prospective parents, polite commuters on the Ioannia City Metro always let hurried workers off the train first, and the government is under the thumb of countless special interests. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ioannia's national animal is the goldfish, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ioannia is ranked 147,916^th in the world and 13^th in Selene for Least Corrupt Governments, with 92.9 percentage of bribes refused.
