The 𝓕𝓔𝓛𝓛 𝓝𝓘𝓝𝓣𝓗 of Ionaris is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by 𝓡𝓸𝓼𝓪 𝓥𝔂𝓽𝓱𝓮𝓻𝓸𝓿 with an iron fist, and remarkable for its teetotalling pirates, frequent executions, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 3.498 billion 𝓡𝓸𝓼𝓮𝓪𝓭𝓮 are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of 𝓡𝓸𝓼𝓮𝓪𝓭𝓮. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 62.2%.

The frighteningly efficient 𝓡𝓸𝓼𝓮𝓪𝓭𝓮 economy, worth 870 trillion 𝓡𝓸𝓼𝓮s a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Retail, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 248,897 𝓡𝓸𝓼𝓮s, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,250,345 per year while the poor average 3,299, a ratio of 682 to 1.

Tourists flock from around the world to see Ionaris's famed 'rainbow slums', molehills are the only mountains deemed safe enough for the public, the suicide rate mysteriously skyrockets during census years, and baseball caps are the new fashion trend. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Ionaris's national animal is the 𝓡𝓸𝓼𝓮𝓼, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓞𝓿𝓮𝓻𝓼𝓮𝓮𝓻.

Ionaris is ranked 311,417^th in the world and 194^th in The Brotherhood of Malice for Most Primitive, scoring -556.26 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
