The Republic of Istaska is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Tatanka Najin with an even hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, unlimited-speed roads, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 4.024 billion Istaskans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.
The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Istaska. The average income tax rate is 74.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Istaskan economy, worth 452 trillion Mazas a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 112,468 Mazas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The government is reining in public spending, odysseying merchant sailors swear that they've heard sirens in the western seas, Istaskan politicians are often described as having more style than substance, and the IBI Channel Tunnel project is plagued by delays. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Istaska's national animal is the Wambli, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Traditionalist.
Istaska is ranked 14,902nd in the world and 15th in Declansburg for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 6,222.68 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
