The République Populaire of Ikkabod is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Première Maël with an even hand, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 13.713 billion Ikkabodians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nouveau Portland. The average income tax rate is 98.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Ikkabodian economy, worth a remarkable 2,316 trillion kiwis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 168,922 kiwis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars, retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, Première Maël has been known to make speeches in fishing waders, and international negotiations always lead to a lot of missile-laneous expenses. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ikkabod's national animal is the kiwi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ikkabod is ranked 196,196th in the world and 1,444th in the West Pacific for Most Stationary, with 52.38641091712 days.
