The Most Serene Republic of Iodinia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Prime Minister Alexandra Ericsen with a fair hand, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 10.71 billion Iodinians 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, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elaburg. The average income tax rate is 98.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Iodinian economy, worth a remarkable 1,967 trillion ionics a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 183,739 ionics, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Oxygen is commonly known as 'breathinium', arbitrary election rules are considered sacrosanct, the nation's counterintelligence budget is all up in the air, and voter turnout for the election of the Junior Assistant for Non-Digital Media Strategies has been unsurprisingly low. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Iodinia's national animal is the grey seal, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Iodinia is ranked 3,643^rd in the world and 98^th in The East Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 2,768.55 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
