The Republic of Ioke 27 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its frequent executions, ritual sacrifices, and stringent health and safety legislation. The devout population of 6.613 billion Ioke 27ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 56.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Ioke 27ian economy, worth 454 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, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. 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 68,684 salts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hostage-takers offer loyalty scheme points for prompt payment, 13-year-old internet trolls are treated as a threat on par with terrorists, barbed wire entanglements and guard towers surround the Ioke 27 City Natural History Museum, and it is well recognised that you can't sustain communism without a bit of spirit. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ioke 27's national animal is the llama, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ioke 27 is ranked 56,597^th in the world and 191^st in Artificial Solar System for Lowest Crime Rates, with 72.52 law-abiding acts per hour.
