The Gull Flag Republic of Iansisle is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Nicodemo Ranalte with an even hand, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, ubiquitous missile silos, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 33.2 billion Iansisleans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ianapalis. The average income tax rate is 42.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Iansislean economy, worth an astonishing 14,532 trillion generals a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 437,738 generals, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People typically base their votes on which party has the cutest logo, Iansisle's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas, the nation's politicians are acknowledged as the most polite in the region to the dismay of comedians everywhere, and the Department of Reduction of Bureaucratic Red Tape has set up a working committee to investigate its own excessive paperwork. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Iansisle's national animal is the seagull, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Iansisle is ranked 1,473^rd in the world and 1^st in A Modern World for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 755.11 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
