The Republic of Boiling Isles is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.021 billion Boiling Islesians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Luzasnia. The average income tax rate is 93.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Boiling Islesian economy, worth 528 trillion Snails a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 175,007 Snails, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Wildlife near farms is slowly becoming extinct, AI citizens are criticized for being robotic, many friends and relatives of Leader have been given ambassador jobs in tropical island nations, and graffiti graces every city's streets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Boiling Isles's national animal is the King, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Boiling Isles is ranked 141,605th in the world and 2,656th in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 199.02013651592 days.
