The Most Serene Republic of Iodinia is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Prime Minister Alexandra Ericsen with a fair hand, and renowned for its smutty television, hatred of cheese, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 15.887 billion Iodinians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elaburg. The average income tax rate is 99.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Iodinian economy, worth a remarkable 3,333 trillion ionics a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 209,845 ionics, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bins outnumber trees in city parks, the government seizes corporate assets it deems 'scary enough', death is nobody's business, and there is one competing standard. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Iodinia's national animal is the grey seal, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Iodinia is ranked 331,711^th in the world and 4,233^rd in The East Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -28.07 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
