The Eyes of Ishay is a massive, safe nation, ruled by il duce anchovy with an iron fist, and notable for its soft-spoken computers, ubiquitous missile silos, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.13 billion Ishayians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of anzio. The average income tax rate is 74.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Ishayian economy, worth 80.2 trillion ihs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 71,000 ihs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A historic rise in the minimum wage has crushed the economy with inflation, only AIs know why the nation is rapidly increasing its semiconductor stockpile, every product goes through extensive safety-testing by the government, and the letters L, G, and B must never be grouped together. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ishay's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is the silent eye of high order.

Ishay is ranked 58,168^th in the world and 63^rd in Kantrias for Safest, scoring 99.56 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
