The Most Serene Republic of Iodinia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Prime Minister Alexandra Ericsen with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 3.827 billion Iodinians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elaburg. The average income tax rate is 96.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Iodinian economy, worth 579 trillion ionics a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 151,517 ionics, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It's always rabbit season, the slowest students feel vaguely targeted by their Mendelian Inheritance coursework, some people will do literally anything to be in the spotlight, and the consent form for routine blood pressure measurement has been nominated for the 'Novel Of The Year' award. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Iodinia's national animal is the grey seal, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Iodinia is ranked 118,979^th in the world and 4,087^th in The East Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 1,283.34 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
