The Bureaucracy of Ithkuil is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by a bureaucrat with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, ban on automobiles, and infamous sell-swords. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.202 billion bureaucrats are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of bureau. The average income tax rate is 98.4%.

The frighteningly efficient bureaucratic economy, worth 721 trillion papers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 171,703 papers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's soldiers sleep four to a bed in order to use space economically, the citizenship exam requires years of study to actually pass, angst-filled teenagers are rushing off to buy government bonds for some odd reason, and government ministers sport new billboards that read 'Will Trade Votes for Private Members' Bill Support'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ithkuil's national animal is the sloth, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is bureaucracy.

Ithkuil is ranked 300,925^th in the world and 206^th in Refugia for Most Secular, with 5.78 Atheism Rate.
