The Loving Couple of -IShip-It is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Verloren with an iron fist, and renowned for its triple-decker prams, enslaved workforce, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.209 billion -IShip-Itians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of 7th District. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 73.1%.

The frighteningly efficient -IShip-Itian economy, worth 809 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 130,397 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 384,864 per year while the poor average 34,743, a ratio of 11.1 to 1.

The nation's youth voluntarily goes to bed early out of sheer tiredness from their working days, unstable couples are known to break up over which one gets parental leave, art criticism in -IShip-It is scathingly destructive, and citizens are now allowed to discuss whether Verloren is the greatest ruler ever or simply the greatest ruler of this generation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. -IShip-It's national animal is the dove, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Cards.

-IShip-It is ranked 161,244th in the world and 6th in Lerodas for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 35,076.94 Standard Monetary Units.
