The Fiefdom of Pleasures Island is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Leader with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, ubiquitous missile silos, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 13.973 billion Pleasures Islandians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pleasures Island City. The average income tax rate is 90.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Pleasures Islandian economy, worth a remarkable 2,898 trillion psis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 207,460 psis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms, the number of judges has tripled in recent months, the nation grinds to a halt for afternoon tea, and authorities are looking for a stool pigeon to rat out who is stealing food from pigeon toilets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pleasures Island's national animal is the human, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is a major religion.

Pleasures Island is ranked 1,676^th in the world and 36^th in the Pacific for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 13,392.29 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
