The Mercantile republic of Insulae libertatis is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Constantine Xll with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, zero percent divorce rate, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 7.574 billion Ionians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Limtoporo. The average income tax rate is 69.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Insulae libertatisian economy, worth a remarkable 1,164 trillion Duckets a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 153,714 Duckets, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Virtual assistants are seen with increasing suspicion every time they get an upgrade, patriotic citizens chant "there's only one Insulae libertatis" at foreigners, a the South Pacific Tourist Association survey has rated Insulae libertatis #1 for number twos, and Constantine Xll has killer fashion sense. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Insulae libertatis's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Insulae libertatis is ranked 58,982^nd in the world and 883^rd in the South Pacific for Most Authoritarian, with 1,574.76 milliStalins.
