The Mostly Insignificant Nation of Ioavollr is a gargantuan, genial nation, renowned for its teetotalling pirates, ban on automobiles, and national health service. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 31.858 billion Citizens enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Welfare. The income tax rate is 100%.

The large but stagnant Ioavollrian economy, worth 528 trillion ISSP Credits a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Book Publishing industry. Average income is 16,584 ISSP Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens select which government department gets their income tax ISSP Credits each year, dozens of additional foreign policy specialists have been sent to the country's WA Mission, large sections of Ioavollr have been named national reserves to protect the native tribes living there, and carbon-footprint restrictions are making businesses walk. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ioavollr's national animal is the Kodiak, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ioavollr is ranked 245,845^th in the world and 59^th in Scandinavia for Largest Mining Sector, scoring -82.1 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
