The Therapist of Islonia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Agathe Fortier with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, digital currency, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.219 billion Islonians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Administration, and Environment also on the agenda, while Defense and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alpina. The average income tax rate is 87.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Islonian economy, worth 845 trillion Iscles a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. Average income is an impressive 102,878 Iscles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Truck drivers turn their engines off and coast whenever they're going downhill, it's often raining men (hallelujah) in Alpina, increasing numbers of children in Islonia have different eye and hair color to their supposed fathers, and survivors of the Great Internet Flame War often recount horror stories of banhammers and DOS attacks. Crime is totally unknown. Islonia's national animal is the Kitten, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cutesy.

Islonia is ranked 239,296^th in the world and 260^th in Thaecia for Most Patriotic, with 1.79 flags saluted per person per day.
