The Colony of Ionon is a colossal, socially progressive nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 5.841 billion Iononians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 46.2%.
The Iononian economy, worth 317 trillion francs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 54,404 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.
International tensions are high as Ionon threatens any government with the audacity to arrest its citizens, 'Mountain Doobie' is widely regarded as the nation's favourite drink, the government is attempting to revitalize a gutted private sector, and elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ionon's national animal is the parrot.
Ionon is ranked 245,404th in the world and 16th in Byzantine Christendom for Most Influential, scoring 28 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
