The Republic of Ignosia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Prime Minister Jonn Fimmener with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 2.686 billion Ignosians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gustenburg. The average income tax rate is 60.4%.

The powerhouse Ignosian economy, worth 219 trillion Chórns a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 81,621 Chórns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Childhood friends of Prime Minister Jonn Fimmener are living it large abroad at the taxpayers' expense, the government has officially clarified that "wee on your hands to save time" does not count as proper hygiene, depression sinks in after each election when voters realize they are stuck with these people for years, and tradesmen will knock 10% off their fees if customers pay cash. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ignosia's national animal is the Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ignosia is ranked 281,954^th in the world and 3,533^rd in the West Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.64 kickbacks per hour.
