The Loving Couple of -I-Ship-It is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Sophia with an even hand, and renowned for its strictly enforced bedtime, free-roaming dinosaurs, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 6.229 billion -I-Ship-Itians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Prester. The average income tax rate is 80.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient -I-Ship-Itian economy, worth 790 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 126,873 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

School lessons are constantly interrupted by 'teacher needs a break' time, flowering peace lilies are the best defence against -I-Ship-It's military, small shoes often wash up on the beach, and foreign governments are looking into weaponizing the infamous -I-Ship-Itian bee. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. -I-Ship-It's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cards.

-I-Ship-It is ranked 190,414^th in the world and 7^th in New West Indies for Safest, scoring 50.97 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
