The Kingdom of Isualia is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by King Winston with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 3.867 billion Isualians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Isonmouth. The average income tax rate is 73.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Isualian economy, worth 312 trillion Isualian Rials a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 80,804 Isualian Rials, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's an aura of pseudoscience around academia, the arms industry is strictly regulated, CEOs can't hear the term 'Fire Sale' without bursting into tears, and political gridlock ensues as even the most innocuous legislation is vetoed by the Supreme Court for potential civil rights violations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Isualia's national animal is the Octopus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Isualia is ranked 49,139^th in the world and 931^st in The East Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 150.12 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
