The Republic of Ioke 59 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, devout population of 6.271 billion Ioke 59ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 56.0%.
The large but inefficient Ioke 59ian economy, worth 271 trillion salts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Gambling. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 43,349 salts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.
Polygraphs are relegated to the dungeon exhibit in castle museums, the "temporary replacement bus service" is now a permanent fixture, a full moon at night lets economists sleep tight, and kids are arrested at gunpoint for playing with toy rifles. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ioke 59's national animal is the llama, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Ioke 59 is ranked 246,360th in the world and 3,674th in Artificial Solar System for Most Stationary, with 19.8251262008 days.
