The Gull Flag Republic of Iansisle is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Nicodemo Ranalte with an even hand, and notable for its soft-spoken computers, frequent executions, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, democratic, cheerful population of 45.714 billion Iansisleans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ianapalis. The average income tax rate is 90.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Iansislean economy, worth an astonishing 25,731 trillion generals 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, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Soda Sales, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. 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 a breathtaking 562,889 generals, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

You gots to be part of the Party to get in to the party, childhood friends of Nicodemo Ranalte are living it large abroad at the taxpayers' expense, few that venture into government archives are ever seen again, and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Iansisle's national animal is the seagull, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Iansisle is ranked 294,306^th in the world and 15^th in A Modern World for Lowest Crime Rates, with 1.75 law-abiding acts per hour.
