The Loving Couple of I ShipIt is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Rusty with an even hand, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, daily referendums, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 6.183 billion I ShipItians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of South Pacific. The average income tax rate is 64.6%.
The frighteningly efficient I ShipItian economy, worth 679 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 109,880 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.
A milk bath costs more than bathing in money, the nation is stuck in permanent election mode as politicians demand constant do-overs, the nation's counterintelligence budget is all up in the air, and the Twelve Steps To Logging Off is the most popular mobile download. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. I ShipIt's national animal is the dove, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cards.
I ShipIt is ranked 129,576th in the world and 249th in Sophia for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 38,897.77 Standard Monetary Units.
