The Empire of Ioeua is a titanic, genial nation, renowned for its burgeoning bison population. The devout population of 13.575 billion Ioeuans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 46.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Ioeuan economy, worth 446 trillion guilders a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 32,894 guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military funding has been stripped back, the government is purchasing vast amounts of palm oil for plastics production, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ioeua's national animal is the bison, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Ioeua is ranked 92,631^st in the world and 2^nd in Checkerboard for Safest, scoring 86.32 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
