The Loving Couple of I Ship It is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Quon with an iron fist, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, frequent executions, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.345 billion I Ship Itians 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, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tokyo. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 75.3%.

The frighteningly efficient I Ship Itian economy, worth a remarkable 1,694 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 149,350 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 7.1 times as much as the poorest.

Cancer rates amongst the richest in society are inexplicably on the rise, young adults are stepping outside for the first time in ages after video games were recently banned, industry tycoons rarely hide their misdeeds due to the government's habit of bailing them out, and burglars are known for taking cash, socks, and other valuables. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. I Ship It's national animal is the dove, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Cards.

I Ship It is ranked 49,535th in the world and 8th in New Hyperion for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 183.35 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
