The Republic of Ikkai is a large, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 50 million Ikkaians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government prioritizes Welfare, with Education, Defense, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 47.4%.

The Ikkaian economy, worth 2.06 trillion euros a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Pizza Delivery industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 41,239 euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

The government has started a campaign to crack down on road rage and encourage alternate means of commuting, the Smalltopian embassy doubles as an electoral campaign headquarters, class action lawsuits have gone up in smoke thanks to government interference, and people make a career out of medical voyeurism. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ikkai's national animal is the leopard, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Ikkai is ranked 119,619^th in the world and 176^th in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 976.12 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
