The Republic of Ikores Avi is a titanic, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The cynical population of 11.428 billion Ikores Avians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 28.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Ikores Avian economy, worth 347 trillion rubledollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 30,385 rubledollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements and the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ikores Avi's national animal is the banana duck, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Ikores Avi is ranked 298,434^th in the world and 2^nd in Lorania courthouse for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -45.83 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
