The Helladric Commonwealth of Ionysia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 24.117 billion Ionydi are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it prioritizes Healthcare, although Education, Environment, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality and Public Transport are ignored. The average income tax rate is 76.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Ionyd economy, worth a remarkable 1,166 trillion Ionyd Ducats a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Book Publishing industry. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 48,361 Ionyd Ducats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Elections have been outlawed, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, the government is reining in public spending, and young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ionysia's national animal is the River Barge, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ionysia is ranked 70,269^th in the world and 7^th in The Commonwealth of Crowns for Lowest Crime Rates, with 70.02 law-abiding acts per hour.
