The Leisurely Living of Islanderans is a mammoth, efficient nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 7.951 billion Islanderansians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 48.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Islanderansian economy, worth 977 trillion Tokens a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 122,987 Tokens, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 472,865 per year while the poor average 22,027, a ratio of 21.5 to 1.

Recent converts to Frisbeetarianism are just doing it for the love of the game, the army lives rent-free in foreigners' heads and houses, citizens have reported seeing strange rays of light emanating from the moon, and Islanderans City is a police state during international summits. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Islanderans's national animal is the Rat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Islanderans is ranked 42,016th in the world and 1st in Staten Island for Highest Average Incomes, with 122,987.43 Standard Monetary Units.
