The Matriarchy of Ikkimel is a mid-sized, socially progressive nation, notable for its absence of drug laws, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 96 million Ikkimelians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 8.3%.

The very strong Ikkimelian economy, worth 5.69 trillion Pferdes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Pizza Delivery, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 59,243 Pferdes, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

Surveillance cameras are banned, the tenet of free speech is held dear, political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations, and the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes. Crime is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. Ikkimel's national animal is the Horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ikkimel is ranked 199,728^th in the world and 3^rd in Botox for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring zero on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
