The Gull Flag Republic of Iansisle is a behemoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Nicodemo Ranalte with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, democratic, cheerful population of 50.941 billion Iansisleans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ianapalis. The average income tax rate is 90.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Iansislean economy, worth an astonishing 28,713 trillion generals a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Soda Sales, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 563,661 generals, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Dictators have dubbed Iansisle the land of lunatics, the hyperwealthy are given "Congratulations! You won Capitalism" trophies, cloud nine refers to the top floor of skyscrapers, and diplomats agree to the terms and conditions of peace treaties without reading them. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Iansisle's national animal is the seagull, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Iansisle is ranked 155,694^th in the world and 3^rd in A Modern World for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 1,375.99 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
