The Federal Republic of Ipaark is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its unlimited-speed roads, compulsory military service, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, devout population of 427 million Samaris are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Isaitor. The average income tax rate is 51.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Samarian economy, worth 19.1 trillion Samarian Samris 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 Automobile Manufacturing, Tourism, Pizza Delivery, and Basket Weaving. 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 44,754 Samarian Samris, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The poor are often seen pale and dizzy after selling their blood to make ends meet, physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques, the new biography of Leader is subtitled "How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Hate the Bomb", and the government sends submarines to retrieve bodies from shipwrecked submarines. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ipaark's national animal is the Samari Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ipaark is ranked 129,733^rd in the world and 12^th in Mikrucka Valley and other regions for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 80.93 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
