The Confederacy of Ivka is a tiny, orderly nation, notable for its stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 16 million Ivkans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 49.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The struggling Ivkan economy, worth 291 billion Tokas a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 18,235 Tokas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, busy commuters no longer hear the cries of "I want some more!" on the nation's streets, and almost every singles' party has a clergy and courtesans theme. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ivka's national animal is the Mirelurk Queen.

Ivka is ranked 102,718^th in the world and 4^th in A Slice of Surreality for Safest, scoring 82.29 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
