The Most Serene Republic of Iodinia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Prime Minister Alexandra Ericsen with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 10.743 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 98.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Iodinian economy, worth a remarkable 1,989 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 185,174 ionics, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bowling teams spend more time looking at their phones than the pins, kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, people with political aspirations study how to make balloon animals, and Elaburg spends billions upgrading public transport. 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 2,561^st in the world and 54^th in The East Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 3,726.04 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
