The Avengers level threat of Ijonia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Juok hinmnm with an iron fist, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, prohibition of alcohol, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.347 billion Ijonins are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ijonanus træsus. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 57.9%.

The powerhouse Ijonese economy, worth 127 trillion Ijonian dollars 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. 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 94,586 Ijonian dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.3 times as much as the poorest.

Nobody ever questions the unquestioned rule that questions must always be asked, the nation's once beautiful countryside has turned brown as farmers spray potent pesticides, exorbitant spending on icebreakers breaks the ice at every budget meeting, and frequent fliers are obliged to submit to invasive security procedures by government security. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ijonia's national animal is the Orko yelur, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Ijonia is ranked 111,619^th in the world and 2,961^st in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 64.65 law-abiding acts per hour.
