The Democratic Kingdom of Isaris is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Queen Oenone with a fair hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 6.207 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Education, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Defence receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arnon. The average income tax rate is 92%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Politicians are to be found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income, the government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments, multiple polls have christened the newly-formed Filibuster Committee as "the least efficient government bureaucracy", and citizens applying for their first jobs face fierce competition from the homeless. Crime is totally unknown. Isaris's national animal is the barn owl, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the isa.

Isaris is ranked 90th in Equilism and 99,511th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -8 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
