“Organized failure”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Empire of Isiahstania is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, unlimited-speed roads, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 5.895 billion Isiahstanians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 72.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Isiahstanian economy, worth 697 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 118,259 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

The path to inner peace is paved with state-mandated punishment, prime commercial land is being swamped with archaeological teams, the family summer vacation has become a thing of the past following the introduction of the year-round school year, and citizens seem fixated on 105m x 45m rectangles. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Isiahstania's national animal is the snake, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Isiahstania is ranked 45,981^st in the world and 2,537^th in Lazarus for Highest Food Quality, scoring 35.38 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
