The Republic of Ibalopia is a huge, pleasant nation, renowned for its burgeoning falcon population. The hard-working population of 858 million Ibalopians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 14.5%.

The Ibalopian economy, worth 41.6 trillion pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is 48,541 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ibalopia's national animal is the falcon.

Ibalopia is ranked 185,224^th in the world and 1^st in Vair for Highest Food Quality, scoring 14.05 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
