The Armed Republic of Ialo is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Air Marshal Keyss Adosso with an iron fist, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, frequent executions, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 19.308 billion Ialians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Frichity. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 72.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Ialian economy, worth a remarkable 2,051 trillion Idus a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Automobile Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 106,241 Idus, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 395,596 per year while the poor average 20,026, a ratio of 19.8 to 1.

Children who can't memorize their multiplication tables are sent to the mines, the people are famous throughout the region for their perfect yellow teeth, the government funds private schools for intellectually gifted children, and pawn shop reality shows dominate basic cable. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ialo's national animal is the marlin, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans, and its national religion is Violetism.

Ialo is ranked 53,295th in the world and 2nd in The Union Of Great Onionist Nations for Most Stationary, with 829.2901636984 days.
