The Republic of Izern 116 is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.807 billion Izern 116ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 42.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Izern 116ian economy, worth 184 trillion baht a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 102,347 baht, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

War criminals are given full state funerals, CSI Forest is this year's hit new crime show, the state-controlled media salutes those about to spy, and children are told they have to do well in school if they want to live. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Izern 116's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Izern 116 is ranked 37,397^th in the world and 68^th in Izern for Highest Poor Incomes, with 66,590.99 Standard Monetary Units.
