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

The United Kingdom of Isselmere is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by King Henry V with an even hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, pith helmet sales, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, cheerful population of 44.786 billion Isselmerian-Nielanders are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, although Social Policy, Defense, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Daurmont. The average income tax rate is 63.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Isselmeric-Nielandic economy, worth an astonishing 12,049 trillion crowns a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 269,036 crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail, films are funded in accordance with the volume of tears shed when reading the screenplay, excited shovel-bearing geeks wander the countryside, and protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations. Crime is totally unknown. Isselmere's national animal is the blue-backed erne, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is secularism.

Isselmere is ranked 3,561^st in the world and 1^st in Haven for Lowest Crime Rates, with 125.4 law-abiding acts per hour.
