The Empire of Ip Mania

“A one thousand mile journey starts with a single step”

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

The Empire of Ip Mania is a colossal, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, smutty television, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 5.307 billion Dúnedain enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arnor. The average income tax rate is 61.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Númenórean economy, worth 646 trillion Lotus Flowers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 121,787 Lotus Flowers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Orthopaedics patients often have a bounce in their step, minority children spend hours bussing to schools miles away from home, financial investors are noting a boom in artillery, and hospitals fear government fines more than terrorist ransoms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ip Mania's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ip Mania is ranked 156,280^th in the world and 3,883^rd in Balder for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 176.79 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
