The Confederation of 2istan is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Maro Liloram with an iron fist, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, ritual sacrifices, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 7.516 billion Tuvistanis 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sanib. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Tovistan economy, worth 784 trillion bings a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 104,380 bings, with the richest citizens earning 7.8 times as much as the poorest.

Murderers facing life in prison listen to long sermons on positive thinking, adverts depict men giving birth while cursing the women who got them into trouble, Violetist maidens who fall for an outsider must leave their violet light districts in shame, and power stations shutting down at night has made bedtime reading tricky. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 2istan's national animal is the white eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Tampa.

2istan is ranked 246,839^th in the world and 115^th in Magna Aurea for Most Primitive, scoring -142.87 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
