The Holy Land of Istnaulia is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Sultan Muhammad Fendeli XI with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, vat-grown people, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.205 billion Istnaulians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vava. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 33.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Istnaulian economy, worth 724 trillion Gold Dinars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 100,591 Gold Dinars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 285,554 per year while the poor average 28,303, a ratio of 10.1 to 1.

Anyone who sneezes at border crossings is turned away, all Istnaulians love the taste of self-sufficiency, translators have been hired to deal with the varying regional accents during national political debates, and foreign leaders' Twitcher accounts are monitored for potential threats to national security. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Istnaulia's national animal is the Snow Leopard, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Yellowism.

Istnaulia is ranked 259,250th in the world and 8,466th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 15.25354579328 days.
