The Rogue Nation of Iocrionia is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, keen interest in outer space, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 383 million Iocrins 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 relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the Iocrionian Capital City of Mordone. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 24.0%.

The all-consuming Iocrionian economy, worth 41.5 trillion florins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 108,461 florins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 396,506 per year while the poor average 21,044, a ratio of 18.8 to 1.

Suit-clad businessmen have been taking advantage of the relaxed welfare qualifications by shopping with food stamps, politicians are often seen with soldiers pointing guns at their heads, jollity-related fatalities are on the increase, and aides are afraid to ask if Leader wants a cup of tea or coffee. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Iocrionia's national animal is the rat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Iocrionia is ranked 90,111th in the world and 15th in Land of Faceplace for Most Conservative, scoring 70.09 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
