The Scattered Republic of The 50 Islands is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Jan Deso with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate population of 2.646 billion Islanders are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tropica. The average income tax rate is 79.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient an Islander economy, worth 282 trillion Conch Shells a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 106,754 Conch Shells, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bowling teams spend more time looking at their phones than the pins, prime real estate is devoted to wind farms and solar energy generators, funerals are often rudely interrupted by juggling clowns shouting for volunteers from the audience, and boats straying just metres away from the shore will raise the ire of the Coast Guard. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The 50 Islands's national animal is the Duck, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

The 50 Islands is ranked 3,892^nd in the world and 5^th in Concord for Safest, scoring 134.82 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
