The Loving Couple of I-Ship-It- is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Alisha with an even hand, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, otherworldly petting zoo, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 6.194 billion I-Ship-It-ians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Glenwood. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 70.8%.

The frighteningly efficient I-Ship-It-ian economy, worth 795 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 128,381 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 9.6 times as much as the poorest.

Wait staff claim to like it when odorous customers flirt with them, biological warfare is used to solve small disagreements, military training in I-Ship-It- emphasizes the tactical advantages of stabbing backs, and moonshine has made a resurgence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. I-Ship-It-'s national animal is the dove, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cards.

I-Ship-It- is ranked 111,387th in the world and 3rd in The Sportsbook for Most Primitive, scoring -27.75 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
