The Loving Couple of IShip It- is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Black Rider with an even hand, and remarkable for its aversion to nipples, feral children, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 6.17 billion IShip It-ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ikebukuro. The average income tax rate is 75.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient IShip It-ian economy, worth 870 trillion rupees 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, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. 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 141,083 rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A significant number of tigers are being prosecuted on charges of child abuse, the Counter-Terrorism Unit has been nicknamed "Big Bad Wolf" for its tendency towards urban demolition, political speeches always take place at sunset to a background of patriotic power ballads, and 90% of active duty IIAF personnel have been laid off and replaced by robot kill-drones. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. IShip It-'s national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cards.

IShip It- is ranked 41,911^th in the world and 261^st in Nerdlandia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 76.91 law-abiding acts per hour.
