The Shiny Hoarders of Isabella Hime is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Little Isabellas with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, pith helmet sales, and disturbing lack of elderly people. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 24.682 billion little Isabellas are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order and Industry also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bella Bella Land. The average income tax rate is 99.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Isabella Himean economy, worth a remarkable 6,913 trillion Shiny Things a year, is highly specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 280,118 Shiny Things, with the richest citizens earning 8.6 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are strongly encouraged to breathe less so as to limit the carbon footprint, soldiers are "encouraged" to advance by armed officers behind them, Little Isabellas signs the laws but abides by none of them, and wood-framed catapults are ready to launch diseased corpses into besieged cities. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Isabella Hime's national animal is the Kabbit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Supreme Shinyness.

Isabella Hime is ranked 3,841st in the world and 57th in The East Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 280,118.89 Standard Monetary Units.
