The Democratic Republic of Islesoc is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 320 million Islesocians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 38.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Islesocian economy, worth 15.9 trillion Isles a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 49,612 Isles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The Museum of Blackacrean War Crimes is located on "Blackacre Did Nothing Wrong Avenue", corporate lawyers are joyfully combing through the new tax code for any new loopholes for their clients, rebuilding efforts for a recently destroyed cathedral aren't expected to be completed for another century, and the nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Islesoc's national animal is the Wandering Tattler, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Islesoc is ranked 211,368^th in the world and 3,372^nd in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 1,114.85 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
