The Interstellar Republic of Isaris is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Prime Minister Thilize Ryshoalvy with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, otherworldly petting zoo, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 29.835 billion Isari enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Environment, and Welfare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arnon. The average income tax rate is 98.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Isari economy, worth a remarkable 7,508 trillion equiliants a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 251,671 equiliants, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

News headlines suggest that Prime Minister Thilize Ryshoalvy has a sideline in guinea pig pimping, high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, handling people's data is proving an immersive experience, and the government is attempting to revitalize a gutted private sector. Crime is totally unknown. Isaris's national animal is the barn owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Isaris is ranked 13,360th in the world and 11th in Equilism for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 8,629.5 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
