The Republic of The Isle Wat is a huge, safe nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 552 million Isle Watians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 27.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Isle Watian economy, worth 21.3 trillion florins a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Automobile Manufacturing, and Gambling. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 38,545 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Isle Wat's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Isle Wat is ranked 114,167^th in the world and 2,991^st in Osiris for Largest Retail Industry, scoring 1,834.29 on the Shrinkwrap Consignment Productivity Index.
