The Vice President of Istillian is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Fornost Erain with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, pith helmet sales, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, hard-working population of 9.675 billion Istillian's enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.
The medium-sized government prioritizes Industry, with Administration, Law & Order, and Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Irminsul. The average income tax rate is 32.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Istillian economy, worth a remarkable 1,346 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 139,163 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Colonials are offended to find a local animal has been re-named the 'Furry Four-Legged Marsupial Thylacine', convicted murderers are free to walk the streets provided they attend rehabilitation classes, the government is a law unto itself, and bus ads propagandize causes ranging from sexual revolution to religious pogroms. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Istillian's national animal is the Thylacine, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Thybelieve.
Istillian is ranked 13,390th in the world and 117th in Europeia for Highest Economic Output, with 1,346 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
