The Fanciful Tales of Refuge Isle is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Arch-Administrator Luca with a fair hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, compulsory vegetarianism, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 11.709 billion Refugi are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the Admin Tower. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Refugi economy, worth a remarkable 3,586 trillion planets a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 306,295 planets, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nude art is becoming wildly popular, male med students learning female anatomy do so with their eyes tightly closed, citizens are strongly encouraged to breathe less so as to limit the carbon footprint, and holidaymakers sleep curled up on the floor as hotel beds are replaced with oversized bookcases. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Refuge Isle's national animal is the SimpleBot, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Zyqxuwy.

Refuge Isle is ranked 1,591^st in the world and 3^rd in Refugia for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 16,612.37 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
