The Kingdom of Jonica is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Conner Copeland with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, pith helmet sales, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 8.514 billion Jonicans 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, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Healthcare, and Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Xion. The average income tax rate is 73.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Jonican economy, worth a remarkable 1,190 trillion Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 139,801 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
A nickname of "Doctor Death" probably indicates a decorated war hero, news editors who eschew the state-approved superlatives for describing Conner Copeland tend to disappear, Conner Copeland is described as an everyday person with normal tastes and the usual interests, and rural Jonicans stare in awe at the bright lights of the big cities. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jonica's national animal is the Crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Jonica is ranked 232,341st in the world and 7,038th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 23.61153349972 days.
