The Republic of Isildurm is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, cynical population of 2.704 billion Isildurmians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.5%.

The strong Isildurmian economy, worth 144 trillion rubledollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 53,397 rubledollars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 302,226 per year while the poor average 4,622, a ratio of 65.4 to 1.

Crime is a problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Isildurm's national animal is the hawk.

Isildurm is ranked 57,547th in the world and 428th in Suspicious for Highest Food Quality, scoring 31.29 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
