The Dominion of Ionistan is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Fu Sion with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, free-roaming dinosaurs, and absence of drug laws. The democratic population of 16.529 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 83.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ionistanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,274 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 137,580 Atoms, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The wearing and manufacture of fur apparel is banned, all astronauts are hot twenty-something models selected because they have 'the right stuff', charity workers were first up against the wall when the time came, and a surprising number of travelers carry their water in vodka bottles. Crime is totally unknown. Ionistan's national animal is the opossum, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ionistan is ranked 283,988^th in the world and 454^th in NationStates for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -11.85 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
