The Republic of Izern 135 is a massive, genial nation, notable for its zero percent divorce rate, prohibition of alcohol, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 1.872 billion Izern 135ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 69.5%.

The all-consuming Izern 135ian economy, worth 178 trillion francs 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, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. 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 95,525 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

The silencing of dissent speaks volumes about the quality of Izern 135ian democracy, everyone has the equal opportunity to have their wallet stolen, murder rates are on the rise as the popularity of soylent products grows, and anything is permissible when wearing latex gloves. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Izern 135's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Izern 135 is ranked 240,584^th in the world and 535^th in Izern for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -5.42 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
