The Fanciful Tales of Refuge Isle is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Arch-Administrator Luca with a fair hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 10.355 billion Refugi are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the Admin Tower. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Refugi economy, worth a remarkable 2,974 trillion planets a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 287,205 planets, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Any citizen who cries is immediately assigned a psychiatrist, retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients, and books are so highly regarded in Refuge Isle that libraries are often revered as holy shrines. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Refuge Isle's national animal is the SimpleBot, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Zyqxuwy.

Refuge Isle is ranked 1,611th in the world and 3rd in Refugia for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 15,696.48 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
