The State of Isangle is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of prisons, and absence of drug laws. The democratic population of 42.17 billion Isangleans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 46.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Isanglean economy, worth a remarkable 1,909 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 45,271 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

A major religion has been named as Isangle's national religion, Isangle has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, The Governor has just been declared ruler of Isangle in an international press conference, and nations that kill an Isanglean can expect a strongly worded letter. Crime is totally unknown. Isangle's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Isangle is ranked 94,052^nd in the world and 1^st in Isangle for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 2,164.81 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
