The Theocracy of Islein Kar is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Neil Armstrong with an iron fist, and notable for its punitive income tax rates, restrictive gun laws, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 15.612 billion Islein Karians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Moon. The average income tax rate is 94.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Islein Karian economy, worth a remarkable 4,272 trillion lire a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Retail, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an amazing 273,693 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

The deaf are perplexed when the weather report tells them that the wind will be "bringing some rain along the Nazi ghosts", one-man canoes fitted with the latest tracking technology leave no room for one man, military equipment stores have a tendency to go up in flames, and prisoners due for execution often use their final statement to complain about soggy bread rolls. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Islein Kar's national animal is the porpoise, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Hollywood.

Islein Kar is ranked 283,425^th in the world and 19^th in SPACE for Safest, scoring 3.8 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
