The Loving Couple of -I-ShipIt is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Seifer with an iron fist, and remarkable for its remarkably easy parental licensing program, zero percent divorce rate, and compulsory vegetarianism. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.53 billion -I-ShipItians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Galbadia. The average income tax rate is 81.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient -I-ShipItian economy, worth a remarkable 1,499 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 130,022 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Half of the nation's import/export industry is run from a location known only as 'Dead Man's Cove', raver DJ XStacy holds multiple medical degrees in chillaxing, robotic spouses prove to be just as imperfect as flesh and blood ones, and horns and hypocrisy are the newest exports of -I-ShipIt. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. -I-ShipIt's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cards.

-I-ShipIt is ranked 31,917^th in the world and 14^th in Krillin for Most Developed, scoring 82.49 on the Human Development Index.
