The Democratic States of Ijo is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Mister X with an even hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, humorless population of 12.662 billion Ijoanas enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.
The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Ijoa. The average income tax rate is 12.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The thriving Ijoan economy, worth a remarkable 1,227 trillion Indonesian Rupiahs 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 a large, well-organized, highly specialized black market in Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. 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 96,934 Indonesian Rupiahs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
New funding allows inner city teachers to replace school laptops almost as fast as they get stolen, the Ministry of Health has reported a sharp increase in the incidence of delayed menopause, rumor has it that Mister X has won three lotteries in a row, and at customs baggage gets an x-ray and female travelers get an ultrasound. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Ijo's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Zen Buddhism.
Ijo is ranked 260,905th in the world and 5,749th in The North Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 42.18 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
