The Bureaucracy of Ithkuil is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by a bureaucrat with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, state-planned economy, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, humorless, devout population of 3.981 billion bureaucrats are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

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 98.0%.

The frighteningly efficient bureaucratic economy, worth 682 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 broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 171,450 papers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

With increasingly clear skies nobody seems to mind the electricity bill going through the roof, people with hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia faint upon diagnosis, political talk shows often have children as guests whenever they need commentary on world religions, and politicians spend a lot of time hanging around kids' playgrounds. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a 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 17,694^th in the world and 45^th in Refugia for Highest Average Incomes, with 171,450.81 Standard Monetary Units.
