The United Socialist States of Islay Easal is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Captain with an iron fist, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, zero percent divorce rate, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 16.099 billion Islay Easalians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arrgh. The average income tax rate is 96.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Islay Easalian economy, worth a remarkable 3,291 trillion kronor a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 204,424 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The immigration office has an express line for people bringing cash in briefcases, the military has grudgingly released all top secret information in an effort for greater transparency, garishly-decorated government buildings are being hailed as the height of 'religious nouveau', and reams of paperwork signed in triplicate have taken the magic out of magic. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Islay Easal's national animal is the elephant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Piracy.

Islay Easal is ranked 7,504th in the world and 1st in Arrgh for Most Stationary, with 2,704.5117413336 days.
