The Republic of Izern 52 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, prohibition of alcohol, and lack of airports. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 3.329 billion Izern 52ians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 72.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Izern 52ian economy, worth 410 trillion rubles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 123,431 rubles, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

Shady doctors seem to have impeccable records, road signs are getting harder to read under layers of knitted woolen cardigans, the recently unemployed can often be seen at the local homeless shelter, and programmes of questionable content are shown at peak-hours. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Izern 52's national animal is the unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Izern 52 is ranked 41,353^rd in the world and 243^rd in Izern for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 49.24 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
