The Republic of Insaanistan is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Mahamat Abdoulaye with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, prohibition of alcohol, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 9.462 billion Insaanis are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Muslimbol. The average income tax rate is 88.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Insaani economy, worth 745 trillion Dinars a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 78,760 Dinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks, wind farms are erected on shuttered oil platforms, the military struggles with recruitment, and running away is an essential part of the elite forces' hand-to-hand training. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Insaanistan's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Islam.

Insaanistan is ranked 148,924th in the world and 2,817th in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 166.13674783908 days.
