The Federal Republic of Ivernary is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 1.327 billion Ivernarians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Circinn. The average income tax rate is 79.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Ivernaryian economy, worth 121 trillion Marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 91,549 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Older citizens lament over the loss of law and order, the Supreme Court vehemently protects civil rights and the right to privacy, the people are famous throughout the region for their perfect yellow teeth, and it's normal to start working life with crippling financial debt. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ivernary's national animal is the stag, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ivernary is ranked 9,147^th in the world and 491^st in The North Pacific for Least Corrupt Governments, with 94.5 Percentage Of Bribes Refused.
