The Republic of Izern 265 is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its frequent executions, enslaved workforce, and suspicion of poets. The cynical, devout population of 705 million Izern 265ians 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 government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Welfare also on the agenda. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 45.3%.

The Izern 265ian economy, worth 37.5 trillion izerns a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 53,222 izerns, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 236,320 per year while the poor average 7,472, a ratio of 31.6 to 1.

New pilots are regularly reminded that they are more expendable than their planes, it's been a banner year for local vexillology, coffee-addicted citizens look forward to baristas getting their name wrong at local coffee shops, and Leader isn't a national brand. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Izern 265's national animal is the izern, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Izern 265 is ranked 79,675^th in the world and 444^th in Izern for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 13,927.17 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
