The People's Republic of Ishnavara is a titanic, genial nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 17.749 billion Ishnavarans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The tiny, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 8.0%.

The Ishnavaran economy, worth 888 trillion talents a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 50,044 talents, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. Ishnavara's national animal is the snowy owl, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Ishnavara is ranked 218,898^th in the world and 4^th in Winter for Safest, scoring 51.11 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
