The Republic of Ioke 68 is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, pith helmet sales, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 6.232 billion Ioke 68ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 60.5%.
The strong Ioke 68ian economy, worth 333 trillion salts a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 53,460 salts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.
An extra hand on the leg will give a horse-and-a-half of lead in a hundred jiffies on seven furlongs, road signs are getting harder to read under layers of knitted woolen cardigans, there has been a rapid increase of noise complaints over the sound of buzzing bees, and doctors spend more time writing sick notes than caring for the sick. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ioke 68's national animal is the llama, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Ioke 68 is ranked 247,234th in the world and 3,682nd in Artificial Solar System for Most Stationary, with 19.82479981212 days.
