The Republic of Ioe is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate population of 1.233 billion Ioeans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 51.1%.

The Ioean economy, worth 66.9 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 54,283 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's skies are now a wasteland, builders across Ioe are blocked up with orders for new public loos, politicians have to be granted day-release from prison to speak on bills, and the nation's mettle is about to be tested. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ioe's national animal is the parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ioe is ranked 152,454^th in the world and 692^nd in Izern for Highest Average Incomes, with 54,283.78 Standard Monetary Units.
