The Leisurely Living of Islanderans is a mammoth, cultured nation, notable for its zero percent divorce rate, smutty television, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 8.001 billion Islanderansians 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, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 48.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Islanderansian economy, worth a remarkable 1,003 trillion Tokens a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 125,372 Tokens, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 481,113 per year while the poor average 22,524, a ratio of 21.4 to 1.

Citizens try to pass off bottlecaps they found in their backyards as historical artifacts, droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police, small shoes often wash up on the beach, and children high on sugar can often be seen bouncing off walls. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Islanderans's national animal is the Rat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Islanderans is ranked 311,599^th in the world and 1^st in Staten Island for Nicest Citizens, with 0.65 average smiles per day.
