The Republic of Izern 232 is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 696 million Izern 232ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Environment receives no funds. The average income tax rate is 51.2%.

The Izern 232ian economy, worth 31.5 trillion izerns a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 45,280 izerns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Stony-faced prosecutors play loud gangster rap music during court proceedings, children seem to be getting better at lying these days, antique comic book collectors are disappointed to hear that their treasures are worth exactly as little as their mothers said they were, and looting and pillaging are now considered vital intelligence-gathering activities. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Izern 232's national animal is the izern, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Izern 232 is ranked 261,907^th in the world and 630^th in Izern for Largest Populations, with 696 million capita.
