The Republic of Isla Rural is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by José Rojas Escribano with an even hand, and notable for its public floggings, frequent executions, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.757 billion Isla Ruralians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Écija. The average income tax rate is 69.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Isla Ruralian economy, worth 461 trillion Peseta Ecijanas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 97,068 Peseta Ecijanas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Garishly-decorated government buildings are being hailed as the height of 'religious nouveau', devotion to God is only skin-deep, a cyber-war between file sharers and the music industry formats hard drives across the country, and motorcycle riders are required to wear so much gear they've been nicknamed "Stay Pufts". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Isla Rural's national animal is the bull, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Ecijanismo.

Isla Rural is ranked 185,259^th in the world and 922^nd in Europe for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring zero on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
