The Queendom of Green Isle is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by High Queen Rhulain with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 15.14 billion Green Isleans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 61.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Green Islean economy, worth 247 trillion Gold Coins a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 16,314 Gold Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Flash floods that dams could have controlled regularly ravage small towns in mountain valleys, local executives are seen on the corner with cardboard signs reading "will oppress the masses for food", murderers frequently escape punishment by claiming they were protecting their honour, and High Queen Rhulain has just been declared ruler of Green Isle in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Green Isle's national animal is the Otter, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Green Isle is ranked 162,747th in the world and 6th in Celestia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 59.9 law-abiding acts per hour.
