Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis
The Protectorate of Ishmiel is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Leader with a fair hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 18.788 billion love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Commerce, Education, and Defence. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ishmiel City. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Arms Manufacturing and Tourism.
There's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt, armed police units patrol the roads late at night, a recent law has banned homes from having any more than one wheel, and a fashion designer has been arrested for inciting hatred after claiming redheads couldn't pull off vermillion. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling. Ishmiel's national animal is the whale, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is a major religion, and its currency is the waine.
Ishmiel is ranked 187th in Canada and 119,750th in the world for Most Pacifist, scoring -1,340 on the Lennon-Springsteen Scale.
