The Republic of Izern 28 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, humorless, devout population of 4.257 billion Izern 28ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 67.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Izern 28ian economy, worth 514 trillion marks a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 120,893 marks, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

Beggars lack pockets for spare change, the government seizes all major gold finds, the transit system is throwing poor people under the bus, and all facts are created equal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Izern 28's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Izern 28 is ranked 17,405^th in the world and 6^th in Izern for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 34,460.03 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
