The Idolater of Isolated Isomer is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Isosceles with an even hand, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, zero percent divorce rate, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 20.904 billion Isolated Isomerians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Isocline. The average income tax rate is 86.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Isolated Isomerian economy, worth a remarkable 4,075 trillion Yen a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 194,950 Yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Cheap textbooks have replaced coasters at college ragers, school children across the country are staging hunger strikes to protest government-mandated salads, lifeguards are more concerned with watching for sharks than struggling swimmers, and grocery store cereal aisles resemble a Piet Mondrian work. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Isolated Isomer's national animal is the Black Bear Ghost, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Isolationism.

Isolated Isomer is ranked 282,211^th in the world and 11^th in Medio for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -11.52 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
