The Republic of Ioke 35 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, digital currency, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 6.713 billion Ioke 35ians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 43.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Ioke 35ian economy, worth 317 trillion salts a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 47,224 salts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Being nicknamed "Orange Face" has done Leader's credibility no favours, the jails are alive with the sound of birdsong, middle-aged metal fans quite enjoy being called "rebellious youths" by even older politicians, and Ioke 35ian police have to pay out of their own pockets for bulletproof vests. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ioke 35's national animal is the llama, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ioke 35 is ranked 255,482^nd in the world and 4,120^th in Artificial Solar System for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -7.07 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
