The Most Excellent Republic of Ionida is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Orion Sharpe with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.003 billion Ionids enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chauss. The average income tax rate is 90.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ionider economy, worth 956 trillion Ionider Diniroes a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 136,531 Ionider Diniroes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Orion Sharpe steals from the rich and gives to the needy, the nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms, prudishness is on the way out, and grocery stores can be audibly identified by the giggling emerging from them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ionida's national animal is the Blue Dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Ionida is ranked 11,556^th in the world and 16^th in Spiritus for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 10,462.28 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
