The Idyllic Utopian Empire of The Union of Ibistic States is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Emperor Philip Walters IV with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, avant-garde cinema, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.676 billion Ibisians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ibiston City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 91.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Ibisian economy, worth 720 trillion Ibisims a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 269,383 Ibisims, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,027,856 per year while the poor average 48,843, a ratio of 21.0 to 1.

Good-looking doctors are obliged by law to give foot rubs to Emperor Philip Walters IV, souvenir shops that sell alphorns are taking advantage of gullible tourists, nobody likes bad boys any more, and artificial intelligences seeking exciting work are overcome with ennui. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Union of Ibistic States's national animal is the Ibis, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Atheism.

The Union of Ibistic States is ranked 4,987th in the world and 12th in The League for Smartest Citizens, with 128.95 quips per hour.
