The United Federal States of Ivorica is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Mark Johnson with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, ubiquitous missile silos, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 14.722 billion Ivoricans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Administration, Education, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Columbus. The average income tax rate is 98.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Ivorican economy, worth a remarkable 5,924 trillion Ivorican Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 402,408 Ivorican Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is spending millions on renovating the public transportation system, Violetist maidens who fall for an outsider must leave their violet light districts in shame, the nation's industries are scrambling to switch to biodegradable plastics, and wealthy pranksters dump refuse on unsuspecting citizens from up high. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ivorica's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Bunch of religions.

Ivorica is ranked 143,407^th in the world and 3^rd in Lezra for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 100.13 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
