The Lesbian Soldier's Republic of Isla Byron is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Victoria T'velas with an iron fist, and notable for its pith helmet sales, ubiquitous missile silos, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.19 billion Isla Byronistas are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry and Administration also on the agenda, while Welfare and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Isla Wager. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 20.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Isla Byronian economy, worth 239 trillion Isla Byron Pesos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 201,141 Isla Byron Pesos, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,144,250 per year while the poor average 17,212, a ratio of 66.5 to 1.

Social media sites go into shutdown for days at a time to censor user content, citizens drive tank-like vehicles with mounted machine guns, from the highest mountain to the deepest cave - one can always count on finding a good cell signal in Isla Byron, and Victoria T'velas's perky ego is the talk of the town. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Isla Byron's national animal is the güiña, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is sapphomaxxing.

Isla Byron is ranked 297,728th in the world and 75th in Starlight for Most Primitive, scoring -275.31 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
