The Republic of Islers is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 4.227 billion Islersians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 28.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Islersian economy, worth 156 trillion francs a year, is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 36,999 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Islers's radio stations, strange looking men with big red noses are found hiding behind bushes and inside dustbins, nature reserves often contain artificial waterfalls and concrete paths, and endangered species are effective hostages against the Islersian military. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Islers's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Islers is ranked 144,570^th in the world and 80^th in House Boucher for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 1,997.88 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
