The Loving Couple of -I-ShipIt is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Seifer with an iron fist, and renowned for its smutty television, aversion to nipples, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.473 billion -I-ShipItians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Galbadia. The average income tax rate is 79.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient -I-ShipItian economy, worth 936 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 125,359 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
The state believes that children are what you make of them, the Gallery of Instasnap is the most popular museum in the country, 1% of global paper production is bound for the National Archive, and the deceased are buried mostly to hide them from state-sanctioned corpse-collectors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. -I-ShipIt's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cards.
-I-ShipIt is ranked 274,422nd in the world and 18th in Krillin for Most Primitive, scoring -171.8 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
