The Incorporated States of Ironica Butterfly is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Forbes Wyoming with an even hand, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, national health service, and smutty television. The compassionate, devout population of 11.008 billion Ironica Butterflyians 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Environment, and Education. The average income tax rate is 69.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Ironica Butterflyian economy, worth 660 trillion aurelias a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 60,034 aurelias, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Tourists often cite 'hiding money in an off-shore banking account' as their main reason to visit the nation, Ironica Butterfly City's main city thoroughfare has been blocked by a row of leyland cypresses that mysteriously appeared overnight, X-Files ratings have hit an all-time low, and the government has been criticized for giving away Ironica Butterfly's territory to anyone who claims it. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ironica Butterfly's national animal is the butterfly, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Ironica Butterfly is ranked 6,876th in the world and 137th in 10000 Islands for Healthiest Citizens, with 17.41 bananas ingested per day.
