The Sinner of Ishmael is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its daily referendums and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 4.998 billion Ishmaelians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Welfare, Law & Order, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Limbus Company HQ. The average income tax rate is 11.9%.

The Ishmaelian economy, worth 301 trillion yen a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 60,333 yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Animal liberationists receive government funding to break into animal research labs, gossip magazines have pictures of Leader sunbathing on the beach with political rivals, the nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks, and referenda can be called for any law at the request of at least one third of the voting population. Crime is totally unknown. Ishmael's national animal is the whale, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Ishmael is ranked 68,353^rd in the world and 1^st in Limbus Company for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 4,126.15 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
