The Republic of Isuga is a huge, safe nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 795 million Isugens are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Erysa. The average income tax rate is 28.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Isugan economy, worth 48.4 trillion Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 60,925 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Weapons produced by newly nationalized armaments factories have been found to contain sawdust instead of gunpowder, ice-filled coffins are ominously positioned in the corner of every hospital ward, crime suspects are forced to submit to blood testing, and the sanitised and dull music festivals of Isuga are famed for their reasonable volume levels. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Isuga's national animal is the Dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Isuga is ranked 139,068^th in the world and 5,373^rd in Balder for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,096.24 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
