The Practiced Perfection of Isabela Madrigal is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, frequent executions, and public floggings. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 5.72 billion Isabela Madrigalians 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, Administration, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.0%.

The large but inefficient Isabela Madrigalian economy, worth 261 trillion rubles a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 45,748 rubles, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians can be condescending (which by the way means "showing an attitude of patronising superiority"), foreigners with shady pasts are fleeing the country, giant beards and handlebar moustaches are increasingly popular, and ethnic minorities are often refused admission to some of the nation's best schools. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Isabela Madrigal's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Isabela Madrigal is ranked 76,096th in the world and 1st in Caplyval for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 3,891.73 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
