The Republic of Izern 247 is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 688 million Izern 247ians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 28.9%.

The Izern 247ian economy, worth 26.0 trillion izerns a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Trout Farming, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 37,821 izerns, with the richest citizens earning 7.2 times as much as the poorest.

The tightness of border controls in Izern 247 leave a little to be desired, property owners are terrified of pigeons nesting in their buildings, the Department of Health is snowed under by requests for crisper ciabatta and tenderer tagliatelle, and endangered species are effective hostages against the Izern 247ian military. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Izern 247's national animal is the izern, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Izern 247 is ranked 222,992^nd in the world and 831^st in Izern for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 255.64 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
