The Dominion of Ionistan is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Fu Sion with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The democratic population of 16.479 billion Ionistanians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Isotope City. The average income tax rate is 83.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ionistanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,271 trillion Atoms a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 137,851 Atoms, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scientific journals publish third-graders' school essays, the wearing and manufacture of fur apparel is banned, all astronauts are hot twenty-something models selected because they have 'the right stuff', and charity workers were first up against the wall when the time came. Crime is totally unknown. Ionistan's national animal is the opossum, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ionistan is ranked 62,230^th in the world and 522^nd in NationStates for Lowest Crime Rates, with 71.34 law-abiding acts per hour.
