The Federal Republic of Izern 215 is a massive, safe nation, notable for its frequent executions, ban on automobiles, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.248 billion Izern 215ians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 69.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Izern 215ian economy, worth 114 trillion monies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Information Technology. Average income is 91,680 monies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Izern 215's national animal is the card, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
