The Loving Couple of -I-ShipIt- is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Vongola with an iron fist, and remarkable for its flagrant waste-dumping, enslaved workforce, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 6.148 billion -I-ShipIt-ians 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Namimori. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.2%.
The frighteningly efficient -I-ShipIt-ian economy, worth 760 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Information Technology, Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 123,704 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 377,892 per year while the poor average 31,387, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.
The nation's counterintelligence budget is all up in the air, the government seeks peaceful forum with terrorists, the only way to escape lengthy prison terms is in a body bag, and Max Barry is this year's Miss -I-ShipIt-. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. -I-ShipIt-'s national animal is the dove, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Cards.
-I-ShipIt- is ranked 6,249th in the world and 10th in Warzone Airspace for Lowest Crime Rates, with 62.8 law-abiding acts per hour.
