The Republic of Isachile Tum is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Desya Kuznetsov with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cynical population of 3.878 billion Isachile Tumians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jukropo. The average income tax rate is 89.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Isachile Tumian economy, worth 509 trillion Zelonings a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 131,303 Zelonings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign governments are threatened if they so much as mention the word "election", mountain rescuers refer to their new gear as the 'watchamacallits' and 'thingymabobs', students memorise knock-knock jokes for their mandatory twice-a-term Comedy Examinations, and people's charity begins and ends at home. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Isachile Tum's national animal is the Gull, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Isachile Tum is ranked 62,831^st in the world and 368^th in the West Pacific for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 4,240.12 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
