The Republic of IKEA Kingdoms is a very large, cultured nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and ritual sacrifices. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 241 million IKEA Kingdomsians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The large government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 44.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The IKEA Kingdomsian economy, worth 11.6 trillion Cards a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 48,143 Cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.
Parents seeking custody have to write a five-thousand word analysis of their child's imaginary friend, an aboriginal talking stick is used for leaders' debates at election time, IKEA Kingdomsians suffer not the eggplant emoji to live, and pillows outnumber picket signs at most workers rallies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. IKEA Kingdoms's national animal is the Card, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
IKEA Kingdoms is ranked 169,757th in the world and 1st in IKEA for Least Corrupt Governments, with 92.94 percentage of bribes refused.
