The Imperial Mandate of Iskusia is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Emperor Hamamato with an iron fist, and renowned for its parental licensing program, free-roaming dinosaurs, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 3.946 billion Iskusians 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 Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Enyako. The average income tax rate is 95.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Iskusian economy, worth a remarkable 1,095 trillion Iskusian Yen a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 277,740 Iskusian Yen, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,287,353 per year while the poor average 36,080, a ratio of 35.7 to 1.

College athletes are arrested for selling lemonade, annulments are on the rise as couples discover their ancestors were born in the same hospitals, the army consists of only generals and grunts, and signs at the border tell international drivers where they can put their cars. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Iskusia's national animal is the Swordfish, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Buddhism.

Iskusia is ranked 4,599th in the world and 55th in the Rejected Realms for Most Influential, scoring 15,642 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
