The Most Serene Republic of Istastioner is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Alexandria Hamilton with an even hand, and notable for its soft-spoken computers, state-planned economy, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 5.579 billion Istastionerians 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 enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Milford City. The average income tax rate is 97.0%.
The frighteningly efficient Istastionerian economy, worth a remarkable 1,234 trillion Istastionerian Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 221,191 Istastionerian Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Foreign governments are threatened if they so much as mention the word "election", public urination is on the increase, tax revenue is often intercepted by international accountants before ever seeing the national treasury, and billions of Istastionerian Credits are being poured into a space program. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Istastioner's national animal is the Red Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.
Istastioner is ranked 372nd in the world and 141st in Europe for Most Influential, scoring 184,013 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
