The Grand Republic of Ichorin is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Jacob B Scoggins with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, smutty television, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 25.826 billion Ichorians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Serzen. The average income tax rate is 97.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Ichorinian economy, worth a remarkable 4,889 trillion dollars a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 189,333 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Mountain rescue missions can end with more people lost than found, military spending is on the increase, doctors who mutter "Oh my God" often lose their medical license, and employers are never quite sure if graduates' qualifications have any merit or meaning. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ichorin's national animal is the Jaguar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Ichorin is ranked 4,543^rd in the world and 269^th in Lazarus for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 8,696.66 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
