The Aggressive Egalitarianism of IslandMafia is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by High Chancellor O'Grady with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, humorless population of 13.087 billion IslandMafians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social and economic equality; they tend to view other countries as corrupted by the hollow pageantry of sham elections.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tharcius. The average income tax rate is 99.1%.

The frighteningly efficient IslandMafian economy, worth a remarkable 2,605 trillion Techni-Bucks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 199,069 Techni-Bucks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government reports are now used to teach toddlers to read, government expenses are beyond compare, nations that kill an IslandMafian can expect a strongly worded letter, and all work and no play has rendered the nation's children somewhat intelligent but also remarkably dull. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. IslandMafia's national animal is the Dire Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

IslandMafia is ranked 2,116th in the world and 93rd in Osiris for Most Developed, scoring 97.93 on the Human Development Index.
