The Armed Republic of Democratic Ibes is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its daily referendums, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The democratic population of 386 million Democratic Ibesians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 12.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Democratic Ibesian economy, worth 16.7 trillion bitcoins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 43,146 bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Parole board directors light up a joint before telling hash-brownie baking grannies that they have to stay behind bars, a bureaucratic fight over DIIA cafeteria food expenditures has caused the temporary suspension of all agency counterintelligence operations, Leader claims to be the epitome of family values, and the government has adopted a more thrifty attitude to administrating the country's needs. Crime is almost non-existent. Democratic Ibes's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Democratic Ibes is ranked 186,585^th in the world and 11^th in RIUVV for Highest Economic Output, with 16.7 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
