The Queendom of Isla Byron is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Victoria T'velas with an iron fist, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, smutty television, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 5.137 billion Isla Byronistas 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 relatively small, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Administration, and Education also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Isla Wager. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 54.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Isla Byronian economy, worth a remarkable 1,795 trillion Isla Byron Pesos a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Information Technology, and Gambling. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 349,429 Isla Byron Pesos, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,646,256 per year while the poor average 44,040, a ratio of 37.4 to 1.

People say that smog must be good for you because of its healthy green colour, visiting dignitaries often end up cuddling in the hot tub with Victoria T'velas, finders keepers is the law of the land, and patch v22.1705 - all developers are now paid for work. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Isla Byron's national animal is the güiña, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is sapphomaxxing.

Isla Byron is ranked 83,446th in the world and 69th in Lesbian for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 54.2 Effective Tax Rate.
