The Commonwealth of Islaraye is a titanic, genial nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working population of 11.166 billion Islarayeans are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Social Policy. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.3%.

The very strong Islarayean economy, worth 577 trillion thaes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Soda Sales, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 51,675 thaes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 178,659 per year while the poor average 10,926, a ratio of 16.4 to 1.

Sending sick politicians "Get Well Soon" cards is considered bribery, the Snapgram channel "Embarrassing Baby Leader Pics" has made Leader's mom a celebrity, artists are pillars of society, and literally voiceless people are unable to protest when food and water are denied to them. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Islaraye's national animal is the dragon, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Islaraye is ranked 311,908^th in the world and 235^th in Islarabia for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -8.85 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
