The People's Republic of Ipe is a massive, genial nation, notable for its national health service, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.34 billion Ipeans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 73.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Ipean economy, worth 179 trillion Itajubas a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 41,329 Itajubas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Saying 'Hi Guys' to a mixed gender group of people at work is a fireable offense, an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, public ferries only carry enough lifeboats for the first-class passengers, and public footpaths are being slowly eroded by the burgeoning number of ramblers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ipe's national animal is the Arara, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ipe is ranked 147,332^nd in the world and 6,675^th in Lazarus for Most Corrupt Governments, with 3.4 kickbacks per hour.
