The Federation of Iso-Roine Lake is a huge, genial nation, notable for its daily referendums, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 950 million Iso-Roine Lakeans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 53.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Iso-Roine Lakean economy, worth 57.2 trillion gambles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 60,168 gambles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Courses in how to boil water are popular for formerly microwave-reliant Iso-Roine Lakeans, code enforcement officers circle wealthy Iso-Roine Lakeans like vultures, all telephone traffic is monitored for 'national security reasons', and fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Iso-Roine Lake's national animal is the gamble, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Iso-Roine Lake is ranked 253,638^th in the world and 190^th in Lakes in Finland for Nudest, with 66.75 cheeks per square mile.
