The Republic of Ishkabibber is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Leader with a fair hand, and renowned for its smutty television, public floggings, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 40.305 billion Ishkabibberians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.
The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 14.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The enormous but inefficient Ishkabibberian economy, worth a remarkable 1,182 trillion doleroes a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 29,340 doleroes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
In a fit of passion Leader has shredded thirty years' worth of petitions, science centers and state of the art laboratories are ubiquitous, Jennifer Government is a bestseller, and pre-takeoff checks last longer than the flights themselves. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ishkabibber's national animal is the lasa ahpso, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Ishkabibber is ranked 189,719th in the world and 1,247th in 10000 Islands for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -2.42 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
