The Holy Empire of The Pokemon Isles is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Leopold Aschefeld with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, compulsory military service, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 2.069 billion Pokemons enjoy great social freedoms and frequent elections, where the majority of the populace regularly votes to increase its benefits at the expense of various hapless minorities.

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vermillion City. The average income tax rate is 90.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pokemon economy, worth 234 trillion Pokedollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 113,573 Pokedollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Students do more community service than homework, Leopold Aschefeld steals from the rich and gives to the needy, hordes of unemployed lumberjacks have resorted to cutting down utility poles to satisfy their cravings, and prison reforms have replaced communal luaus with communal loos. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Pokemon Isles's national animal is the Pokemon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Arceism.

The Pokemon Isles is ranked 27,383^rd in the world and 3^rd in Pocket Monster Isles for Smartest Citizens, with 55.33 quips per hour.
