The Avengers level threat of Ijonia is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Juok hinmnm with an iron fist, and renowned for its state-planned economy, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.379 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ijonanus træsus. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 58.0%.

The powerhouse Ijonese economy, worth 136 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, Tourism, Information Technology, 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 99,062 Ijonian dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.3 times as much as the poorest.

Tabloids coo over Juok hinmnm's expected child, the government has adopted a "Lightning Never Strikes Twice" approach to dealing with natural disasters, the nation grinds to a halt for afternoon tea, and scenic beaches are now protected by massive concrete walls. 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 29,995^th in the world and 1,119^th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 81 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
