The Republic of Isocheria is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Overlord with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.617 billion Isocherians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Recluse. The average income tax rate is 63.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Isocherian economy, worth 114 trillion glazoes a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Soda Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 70,658 glazoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Government officials go door-to-door educating about the dangers of pseudoscience, students are wary of colorfully decorated new teachers with names like Professor Pipsqueak, skateboarding is considered a form of diplomacy, and a ban on unsolicited cold calling in all forms is in effect. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Isocheria's national animal is the western dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Isocheria is ranked 38,854^th in the world and 2,115^th in Balder for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,307.2 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
