The Provisional Government of Greater Istanistan is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Chen En Enri with an even hand, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, national health service, and vat-grown people. The compassionate, democratic, humorless, devout population of 23.725 billion Tuvhalians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tannhauser. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Tuvhalian economy, worth an astonishing 10,905 trillion Allocation Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 459,643 Allocation Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nuclear physics is the most popular course at university, those who cut young children are told to cut it out, weekends are spent tilting at windmills, and the latest electric jet fighter has almost enough battery charge to reach cruising altitude -- provided you don't use the radar. Crime is totally unknown. Greater Istanistan's national animal is the Foreign Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Neo-Tuvhalianism.

Greater Istanistan is ranked 147,303^rd in the world and 17^th in The Universal Order of Nations for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 846.07 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
