The Constitutional Empire of Ivy Rekkia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by HM Elizabeth-Emerald Nicola Cunningham with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 19.572 billion Rekkashians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mollinet-Crayssac. The average income tax rate is 95.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Ivy Rekkian economy, worth a remarkable 2,910 trillion Qonias a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 148,709 Qonias, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has officially clarified that "wee on your hands to save time" does not count as proper hygiene, citizens are deployed to barren deserts to protect small territorial claims, the comic book series 'HM Elizabeth-Emerald Nicola Cunningham and the Villainous Corporate Cronies' is a best-seller, and the government only invests in infrastructure after a natural disaster. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ivy Rekkia's national animal is the Rekkashian Grizzly Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ivy Rekkia is ranked 13,555^th in the world and 588^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 348.32 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
