The Federation of Islam Witte is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its closed borders, parental licensing program, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.481 billion Islam Witteans 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 large, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 36.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Islam Wittean economy, worth 38.5 trillion Ursine chervonets a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 25,993 Ursine chervonets, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Everyone wants to be on the guest list for diplomatic parties, the latest guided missile cruiser "Ship-1642" has received precisely zero column inches in the press, nervous homeowners have been blamed for rising death rates amongst carol singers and locksmiths, and conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Islam Witte's national animal is the Ursus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Islam Witte is ranked 295,388th in the world and 47th in Ursus for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -7.68 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
