The Republic of Ioke 42 is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, ritual sacrifices, and frequent executions. The devout population of 6.646 billion Ioke 42ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The thriving Ioke 42ian economy, worth 444 trillion salts a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 66,938 salts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League, tech-mad citizens think that the laser-powered bread-slicer uPhone App is the coolest thing since sliced bread, disadvantaged neighbourhoods have become no-go areas after sundown, and citizens often pray for divine guidance in supermarkets.
