The Fanciful Tales of Refuge Isle is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Arch-Administrator Luca with a fair hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, prohibition of alcohol, and compulsory vegetarianism. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 11.597 billion Refugi are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the Admin Tower. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Refugi economy, worth a remarkable 3,538 trillion planets 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 305,101 planets, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government only invests in infrastructure after a natural disaster, the government spends more on chasing distant comets than on basic infrastructure, selfie stick use is a required Scout badge, and trains and passengers alike are often late. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Refuge Isle's national animal is the SimpleBot, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Zyqxuwy.

Refuge Isle is ranked 520th in the world and 1st in Refugia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 196.57 law-abiding acts per hour.
