The Democratic States of Ijo is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Mister X with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, lack of airports, and soft-spoken computers. The compassionate, hard-working, humorless population of 13.686 billion Ijoanas 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Ijoa. The average income tax rate is 27.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Ijoan economy, worth a remarkable 1,496 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 an impressive 109,372 Indonesian Rupiahs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sleeping on the job is recommended, people who stay late at the office often come home to find their own funeral being planned, almost all of the nation's water is piped into the country from abroad for exorbitant prices, and nobody is allowed to stop the local daycare from reading Nietzsche to pre-schoolers. 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 308,316th in the world and 5,981st in The North Pacific for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring -22.05 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
