The Republic of Ikiline is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by National Reconstruction Council with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, rampant corporate plagiarism, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 8.261 billion Ikilineans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social and economic equality; they tend to view other countries as corrupted by the hollow pageantry of sham elections.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Sarland. The average income tax rate is 14.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Ikilinean economy, worth 289 trillion golden pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Furniture Restoration, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 35,103 golden pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ikilineans have recently stopped mysteriously setting off metal detectors, the government is spending millions to provide full health care for all citizens, the hills are alive with the sound of ringtones, and all the cool kids have tetanus. Crime is moderate. Ikiline's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ikiline is ranked 235,999^th in the world and 6^th in Lascandrish alliance for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 29,872.69 Standard Monetary Units.
