The Connected Isolation of Isthmus Islet is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Princess Sandy with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 8.646 billion Isthmus Isletians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Welfare, with Spirituality, Education, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Defense receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Crab Paradise. The average income tax rate is 35.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Isthmus Isletian economy, worth 263 trillion sand dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Pizza Delivery, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 30,484 sand dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Urban graffiti is hand-calligraphed in perfectly kerned elegant fonts, insanely good theatre productions face government censorship, foreign envoys that want to visit Isthmus Islet now have to navigate real minefields in addition to the political ones, and Princess Sandy's speeches are beloved by insomniacs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Isthmus Islet's national animal is the crab, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Wicca.

Isthmus Islet is ranked 79,186^th in the world and 18^th in 10000 Islands for Lowest Crime Rates, with 68.67 law-abiding acts per hour.
