The Community of Isla Pequena Esperanza is a very large, orderly nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 411 million Isla Pequena Esperanzans 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 36.8%.

The strong Isla Pequena Esperanzan economy, worth 25.4 trillion lire a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 61,780 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Commemorative mugs remembering last year's Black Friday Crockery Riots are a best seller this year, the tax department is having withdrawal symptoms, the saying 'break a leg' is now taken literally, and defense lawyers suggestively note to juries how flagrantly happy victims were. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Isla Pequena Esperanza's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Isla Pequena Esperanza is ranked 103,588^th in the world and 177^th in Forest for Most Developed, scoring 60.64 on the Human Development Index.
