The Fiefdom of Iono is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its public floggings, ban on automobiles, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 5.251 billion Ionoans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 35.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The large but inefficient Ionoan economy, worth 209 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 39,848 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.
Foreign leaders' Twitcher accounts are monitored for potential threats to national security, business ambassadors offer bong tokes to foreign leaders, code enforcement officers circle wealthy Ionoans like vultures, and families consisting of more than three people are forced to split up. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Iono's national animal is the whale, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
Iono is ranked 241,809th in the world and 2nd in Parliament of Australia for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -3.22 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
