The Republic of Izern 129 is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, zero percent divorce rate, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical, devout population of 1.849 billion Izern 129ians 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, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 72.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Izern 129ian economy, worth 224 trillion kronor 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 slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. 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 121,350 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians are often seen with soldiers pointing guns at their heads, deceased politicians' MyFace profiles are unanimously pro-incumbent, warfare increasingly resembles a video game, and pretending to be prejudiced is a good way to get out of jury duty. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Izern 129's national animal is the squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Izern 129 is ranked 43,358^th in the world and 44^th in Izern for Highest Average Incomes, with 121,350.7 Standard Monetary Units.
