The Principality of Ignas is a small, socially progressive nation, renowned for its smutty television, free-roaming dinosaurs, and infamous sell-swords. The democratic population of 40 million Ignasians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 35.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Ignasian economy, worth 1.85 trillion florins a year, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Uranium Mining, and Gambling. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 46,322 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Kids who move from attending a public school in the city to the country often struggle in goat milking class, religious epiphanies are often cited as a reason for high school drop-outs, leather-clad individuals can be seen walking their slaves in public parks, and busy commuters no longer hear the cries of "I want some more!" on the nation's streets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ignas's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ignas is ranked 112,729^th in the world and 2,972^nd in The North Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 2,874.85 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
