The ⠀⠀ of IZERN is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by ⠀⠀ with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, daily referendums, and vat-grown people. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 8.077 billion ⠀⠀ are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of ⠀⠀. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 53.6%.

The frighteningly efficient ⠀⠀ economy, worth a remarkable 3,634 trillion ⠀⠀s a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Gambling. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 450,002 ⠀⠀s, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 4,146,649 per year while the poor average 4,926, a ratio of 841 to 1.

Censors protect the public from lewd images of Bigtopians in duffel coats, the government has hired out-of-work fashion designers to design purses for men, being wrong on the internet has been classified as digital terrorism, and pharmaceutical warships enforce patent agreements with surgical precision. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. IZERN's national animal is the ⠀⠀, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is ⠀⠀.

IZERN is ranked 72,446^th in the world and 1,137^th in The North Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 69.68 on the Human Development Index.
