The Galactic Empire of Isoverse is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Warden Ducky with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, avant-garde cinema, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 5.153 billion isomorphisms 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Planet Ducky. The average income tax rate is 46.7%.

The all-consuming isomorphic economy, worth 516 trillion duckcoins a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 100,186 duckcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Understaffed slavers offer highballs when asked to 'pass the screwdriver' during household maintenance, hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock", travellers are often forcibly evicted by torch-bearing mobs, and edutainment video games are taking Isoverse's students to the next level. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Isoverse's national animal is the duck, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Duckism and Andrastianism.

Isoverse is ranked 134,269th in the world and 1st in Isoverse for Largest Populations, with 5.15 billion capita.
