The Federal Republic of Ionio is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by John Colucci with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 4.544 billion Ionioans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of San Foca. The average income tax rate is 77.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ionioan economy, worth 847 trillion Ionian Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 186,518 Ionian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Frat-house partying has become the national pastime, artists are renowned for their ability to make art pieces out of thin air, students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas, and government ministers have eclectic tastes in curtains. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ionio's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ionio is ranked 7,936^th in the world and 19^th in Eurth for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 14,766.81 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
