The Confederal Council Republics of International Socialist Union is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Central Executive Council with an even hand, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 9.95 billion Post-Nationals enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of ISU-City. The average income tax rate is 99.1%.

The frighteningly efficient post-national economy, worth a remarkable 2,490 trillion Work-Hour Vouchers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 250,310 Work-Hour Vouchers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The combined alert sound of a nation simultaneously receiving a text message is a common cause of hearing damage, the horniness of the great-horned Capitalist Pig is considered a national priority, unpopular cops are fired at a moment's notice by the citizens they police, and nobody is allowed to stop the local daycare from reading Nietzsche to pre-schoolers. Crime is totally unknown. International Socialist Union's national animal is the Capitalist Pig, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

International Socialist Union is ranked 388^th in the world and 12^th in The Communist Bloc for Nicest Citizens, with 121.1 average smiles per day.
