The Armed Republic of Isonteville is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its strictly enforced bedtime, compulsory gun ownership, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 941 million Sontians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 20.0%.

The Sontalian economy, worth 56.0 trillion Sonts a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 59,478 Sonts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Government bureaucrats devote many man-hours to trying to measure unquantifiables, main battle tanks stalk the woods of Isonteville in search of Dolphins, fancy dress parties are raided by military police for new recruits, and at least 1% of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs budget goes to Leader's wardrobe. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Isonteville's national animal is the Dolphin.

Isonteville is ranked 250,543^rd in the world and 405^th in Concord for Largest Populations, with 941 million capita.
