The Republic of Ighrona is a massive, genial nation, notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, parental licensing program, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 2.372 billion Ighronans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 36.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Ighronan economy, worth 224 trillion Guldres a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 94,628 Guldres, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rioting during the nation's hosting of ORDER caused one million Guldres of property damage, the cruise missile launchers on the field hospital roof are purely deterrent in purpose, prisoners can't do number twos without their "toilet buddy" present, and being wrong on the internet has been classified as digital terrorism. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ighrona's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ighrona is ranked 31,469^th in the world and 124^th in Concord for Nicest Citizens, with 19.85 average smiles per day.
