The Republic of Islavsia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Alpha with an iron fist, and remarkable for its strictly enforced bedtime, public floggings, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 4.522 billion Islavsians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nythantium. The average income tax rate is 40.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Islavsian economy, worth 794 trillion Sins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 175,682 Sins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Children spend all morning taking out a comma and all afternoon putting it back in again, it is still not known if the commander in chief outranks the supreme commander, fresh food is a thing of the past due to onerous testing standards, and psychiatrists bizarrely accompany Alpha to meetings with foreign heads of state. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Islavsia's national animal is the Sea Leviathan, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Order of Mortem.

Islavsia is ranked 25,805^th in the world and 1,394^th in Osiris for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 6,208.28 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
