The Republic of Isle Royale is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Jacob Vaghn with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, sprawling nuclear power plants, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working population of 10.914 billion Isle Royaleans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Windigo. The average income tax rate is 65.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Isle Royalean economy, worth a remarkable 2,325 trillion Timber Marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 213,065 Timber Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government prides itself on being smug and condescending to idiots, the Finance Ministry posts hourly updates on where taxpayer money is spent, massive new slaughterhouses are being hailed as a sign of progress, and new arrivals are asked the location of the Minister of the Interior's birthmark. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Isle Royale's national animal is the Timber Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Isle Royale is ranked 25,679^th in the world and 237^th in the West Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 41.83 flags saluted per person per day.
