The United Kingdom of Isselmere is a behemoth, safe nation, ruled by King Henry V with an even hand, and remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 50.044 billion Isselmerian-Nielanders are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, although Defense, Social Policy, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Daurmont. The average income tax rate is 75.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Isselmeric-Nielandic economy, worth an astonishing 13,928 trillion crowns a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 278,329 crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Lifelong celibates are surprised to receive government-issue condoms in the post, excessive wheelchair ramps on government buildings have been compared to theme park attractions, starving citizens are offered nuclear pasta, and 100-year-old politicians are now a thing of the past. Crime is totally unknown. Isselmere's national animal is the blue-backed erne, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Isselmere is ranked 14,836th in the world and 1st in Haven for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 4,112.76 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
