The Many Horrible Limbs of Isopod is a gargantuan, orderly nation, remarkable for its burgeoning carnivorous crustacean population. The cynical population of 44.051 billion Isopodians 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 Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 43.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The enormous but underdeveloped Isopodian economy, worth a remarkable 1,103 trillion detrituses a year, is quite specialized and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Furniture Restoration, and Gambling. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 25,050 detrituses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Elections have been outlawed and tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Isopod's national animal is the carnivorous crustacean, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Isopod is ranked 132,472nd in the world and 1st in Untied States for Most Primitive, scoring -43.59 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
