The Democratic Republic of Ibanes is a very large, genial nation, remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, fear of technology, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, devout population of 391 million Ibanesians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Spirituality, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 34.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Ibanesian economy, worth 24.3 trillion IFCS a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 62,193 IFCS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

New mothers can pay for their weekly grocery shop with a bottle of breast milk, the experimental sculpture "Overtures In Dried Black Swan Dung" has been declared a national treasure, foreign nations often blame poverty and terrorism on Ibanesian selfishness, and Ibanes has designated Ibanes City as its capital city. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ibanes's national animal is the Black Swan, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Ibanes is ranked 71,085^th in the world and 45^th in Sancturia for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,748.52 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
