The Democratic States of Ionicurus is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its enslaved workforce, public floggings, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 2.161 billion Ionicurusians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Industry and Education are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 34.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Ionicurusian economy, worth 357 trillion rubles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 165,207 rubles, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,288,159 per year while the poor average 5,424, a ratio of 237 to 1.

Selling advanced CPUs to anti-Ionicurusian terrorists is no chip on the government's shoulders, the arms industry is backed by government subsidies and harsh anti-protest laws are in place, the new iVote app allows representatives to vote on legislation by launching ill-tempered birds and matching candies, and Leader's exquisite office door is replaced monthly due to angry petitioners. Crime is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Ionicurus's national animal is the leopard, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ionicurus is ranked 3,321^st in the world and 7^th in Saint Osmund for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 7,163.44 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
