The Republic of Ironic is a colossal, pleasant nation, renowned for its burgeoning lion population. The hard-working population of 3.716 billion Ironicians 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 Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 21.2%.

The Ironician economy, worth 153 trillion marks a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 41,285 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ironic's national animal is the lion.

Ironic is ranked 221,152^nd in the world and 1^st in Cheddar for Most Developed, scoring 52.68 on the Human Development Index.
