The Technate of Ionicus is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Terezis with a fair hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 28.177 billion Ionicians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Khasde. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Ionician economy, worth an astonishing 11,049 trillion Ionic Credit ₹s a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 392,141 Ionic Credit ₹s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The cruise missile launchers on the field hospital roof are purely deterrent in purpose, wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations", faithful allies are always valued, and physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Ionicus's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is none.

Ionicus is ranked 11,525^th in the world and 704^th in Lazarus for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 4,967.43 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
