The Most Serene Republic of Iodinia is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Prime Minister Alexandra Ericsen with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 10.761 billion Iodinians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elaburg. The average income tax rate is 98.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Iodinian economy, worth a remarkable 1,988 trillion ionics a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 184,815 ionics, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

School football matches are usually five-a-side, it is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws, diplomatic missions typically end with a flurry of childish insults, accusations and phlegm, and companies have begun running campaigns to stop people from remembering their brand name. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Iodinia's national animal is the grey seal, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Iodinia is ranked 281,712^th in the world and 4,842^nd in The East Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 0.47 flags saluted per person per day.
