The United Islands of Iontan is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Executive Leader with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 22.006 billion Iontanians 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 enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Iontan City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Iontian economy, worth a remarkable 4,849 trillion Tayoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 220,393 Tayoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's never a spare chair in the retirement home, some paycheques only arrive every 12 to 24 weeks, there's a bright dawn ahead for Iontan, and badminton was recently banned due to 'unacceptable violence' inherent to the game. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Iontan's national animal is the Panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Iontan is ranked 450^th in the world and 12^th in 10000 Islands for Most Secular, with 99.19 Atheism Rate.
