The Federal Republic of Issime is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Montserrat Leeon-Yurena with an even hand, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, state-planned economy, and parental licensing program. The compassionate, cheerful population of 12.424 billion Issimeans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Marsante. The average income tax rate is 99.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Issimean economy, worth a remarkable 2,735 trillion Marins 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, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 220,144 Marins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Five-year-olds who refuse to line up on command get gold stars, starving citizens are offered nuclear pasta, in a baffling press conference Montserrat Leeon-Yurena proudly dismantled a broken door, and school teachers check the staff room for hidden webcams before complaining about rebellious students. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Issime's national animal is the Issi Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Issime is ranked 49,090^th in the world and 292^nd in the Pacific for Largest Populations, with 12.4 billion capita.
