The Republic of Islandiastan is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, smutty television, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 751 million Islandiastanians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 12.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Islandiastanian economy, worth 42.7 trillion Tokens a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Pizza Delivery, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 56,919 Tokens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

The art of conversation has been rediscovered, life-saving resuscitation is denied based on decades-old teenage diaries that declare "I want to die before I get old", families are left homeless as entire suburbs are bulldozed on the whim of tribal chiefs, and it's a marvellous night for a moon dance as the sparks on your home start to rise. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. Islandiastan's national animal is the Human, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Islandiastan is ranked 240,765^th in the world and 1,144^th in Europeia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 54.96 law-abiding acts per hour.
