The Incorporated States of A Islands is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its pith helmet sales, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical, devout population of 550 million Islandsians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 71.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Islandsian economy, worth 7.50 trillion gyatts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 13,632 gyatts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Leader's latest speech included a bizarre reference to MaxWow incontinence pads being 50% more absorbent than the next leading brand, foreign lack of enthusiasm for Islandsian nose-flute disco metal is seen as a reasonable casus belli, Leader's former secretary was last sighted on her new yacht, and in a desperate bid for cheap airfare Islandsians can be seen jogging in a rubber suit just before flying. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. A Islands's national animal is the rizz, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

A Islands is ranked 35,785^th in the world and 14^th in The Wellspring for Most Extreme, scoring 36.45 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
