The Republic of Boiling Isles is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, daily referendums, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.123 billion Boiling Islesians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Luzasnia. The average income tax rate is 93.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Boiling Islesian economy, worth 548 trillion Snails a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 175,651 Snails, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has spent days debating the merits of a petition calling for a ban on sporks, almost all of the nation's water is piped into the country from abroad for exorbitant prices, old folks reminisce about the last time someone was acquitted of a crime, and the volume of paperwork used to complete a single environmental assessment defeats the purpose. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Boiling Isles's national animal is the King, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Boiling Isles is ranked 5,836^th in the world and 309^th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 112.75 law-abiding acts per hour.
