The Big Blue Marble of Ichiques is a gargantuan, genial nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, devout population of 19.628 billion Ichiquesians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.
The enormous, socially-minded government prioritizes Welfare, although Healthcare, Administration, and Spirituality are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Papertown. The average income tax rate is 74.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The strong Ichiquesian economy, worth a remarkable 1,134 trillion papers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. Average income is 57,820 papers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Leader is considering changing the Ichiquesian flag to one with more glitter, rebuilding efforts for a recently destroyed cathedral aren't expected to be completed for another century, it's often raining men (hallelujah) in Papertown, and children are brainwashed at a young age to accept "love and peace!" as a way of life. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ichiques's national animal is the flamingo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Movie Franchises.
Ichiques is ranked 258,416th in the world and 8th in Quiet Cottage on the Edge of the Cosmos for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -7.87 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
