The Orthodox Theocracy of The Great Foreign Islands is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Patriarch Stevanson II with an even hand, and remarkable for its punitive income tax rates, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 2.012 billion Foreignishes are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Isa-Iem-Masih. The average income tax rate is 74.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Great Foreign Islandsian economy, worth 95.0 trillion tenges 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 Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. Average income is 47,210 tenges, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The caged-bird trade is singing, a primitive society is being eroded as its youth flock to the modern world, the government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments, and it can be a real jungle in a modern courtroom. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Great Foreign Islands's national animal is the salmon, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Orthodox Christianity.

The Great Foreign Islands is ranked 174,246^th in the world and 60^th in Union of Christian Nations for Largest Populations, with 2.01 billion capita.
