The Republic of Ioke 74 is a colossal, pleasant nation, remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, parental licensing program, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, devout population of 6.196 billion Ioke 74ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The large government prioritizes Law & Order, although Education, Defense, and Administration are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 50.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The strong Ioke 74ian economy, worth 392 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 black market in Tourism, Woodchip Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. 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 63,399 salts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.
The news is showing footage of Leader bullying an old man to the point of tears, foreigners with shady pasts are fleeing the country, fancy dress parties are raided by military police for new recruits, and nature magazines featuring stick insects on their covers are sometimes mistaken for fashion magazines. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ioke 74's national animal is the llama, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
Ioke 74 is ranked 246,674th in the world and 3,688th in Artificial Solar System for Most Stationary, with 19.82464009 days.
