The State of Iona-Black

“Madam President”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The State of Iona-Black is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by the Governor with an even hand, and notable for its irreverence towards religion and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 30.638 billion Iona-Blackians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The medium-sized, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.6%.

The thriving Iona-Blackian economy, worth a remarkable 1,466 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Furniture Restoration, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 47,859 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 158,820 per year while the poor average 10,762, a ratio of 14.8 to 1.

Teenagers are told they're not thinking about sex enough, ice-filled coffins are ominously positioned in the corner of every hospital ward, hospitals fear government fines more than terrorist ransoms, and corporate lawyers are switching careers to the more lucrative field of green politics. Crime is moderate. Iona-Black's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Iona-Black is ranked 224,152^nd in the world and 2^nd in Maldives for Lowest Crime Rates, with 56.57 law-abiding acts per hour.
