The Republic of Ioke 15 is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, parental licensing program, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 6.61 billion Ioke 15ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Education are also considered important. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 43.1%.

The all-consuming Ioke 15ian economy, worth 622 trillion salts 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 a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. 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 94,135 salts, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 561,667 per year while the poor average 7,200, a ratio of 78.0 to 1.

There has been a rapid increase of noise complaints over the sound of buzzing bees, drill sergeants yell in the ears of bespectacled nerds in cybermilitary "reboot camps", children seem to be getting better at lying these days, and old dogs don't have to learn new tricks but they have to prove they haven't forgotten old ones. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ioke 15's national animal is the llama, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ioke 15 is ranked 113,791^st in the world and 17^th in Space Sector RPRA for Lowest Crime Rates, with 64.29 law-abiding acts per hour.
