The Democratic Republic of Socialist Ishaland is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its national health service, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 1.44 billion Ishalandians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Isha City. The average income tax rate is 65.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Socialist Ishalandian economy, worth 67.8 trillion kronor a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 47,113 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government reports are now used to teach toddlers to read, the native owl population is in permanent hibernation, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, and Leader has just been declared ruler of Socialist Ishaland in an international press conference. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Socialist Ishaland's national animal is the peacock, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Socialist Ishaland is ranked 128,339^th in the world and 250^th in Starlight for Most Developed, scoring 57.62 on the Human Development Index.
