The Most Serene Republic of Iodinia is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Prime Minister Alexandra Ericsen with a fair hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, national health service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 15.765 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 3,299 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 209,266 ionics, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

'Totally Not Partisan News' is a line item on the government budget, the government is plagued with uncertainty, the Iodinian government is the world's largest NGO, and civil engineers are undermining sinkholes. 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 3,488^th in the world and 56^th in The East Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 183,585.59 Standard Monetary Units.
