The Rogue Nation of Isae is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Hmm the gnome with an iron fist, and notable for its pith helmet sales, anti-smoking policies, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 9.625 billion Isaens are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, although Administration, Public Transport, and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grande. The average income tax rate is 23.3%.

The Isaean economy, worth 612 trillion Isae Marks a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 63,686 Isae Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

No one knows how to tie a reef knot, the nation's soldiers sleep four to a bed in order to use space economically, the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, and weapons produced by newly nationalized armaments factories have been found to contain sawdust instead of gunpowder. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Isae's national animal is the Gun, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Isae is ranked 197,329^th in the world and 23^rd in Markion for Safest, scoring 43.31 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
