The Confederacy of Islanchland is a large, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, disturbing lack of elderly people, and public floggings. The hard-nosed population of 141 million Islanchlandians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 9.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Islanchlandian economy, worth 10.6 trillion bitcoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 75,481 bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens have never heard foreign radio, "Darwin's Disease" is a growing cause of death, citizens with artificial limbs are forbidden to serve as beauty pageant judges, and rugby players that knock each other over always stop to make sure the other fellow is okay. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Islanchland's national animal is the parrot, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Islanchland is ranked 93,369^th in the world and 35^th in Benigtopia for Highest Average Incomes, with 75,481.47 Standard Monetary Units.
