The Loving Couple of I-Ship-It is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Benja with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, ubiquitous missile silos, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 11.312 billion I-Ship-Itians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kumandra. The average income tax rate is 76.5%.
The frighteningly efficient I-Ship-Itian economy, worth a remarkable 1,628 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 143,929 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.
Populations of two-headed doves have been found around recently-uncovered archaeological sites, private pharmacies close down as medicinal drugs are given away freely by the government, dozens of viewers go online to hear whether a comma has been added to Clause 5 in Subsection B of Law 58375, and descriptions of properties as "a stone's throw from the city centre" require a trebuchet to be true. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. I-Ship-It's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cards.
I-Ship-It is ranked 243,327th in the world and 21st in St Abbaddon for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6.69 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
