The Republic of Izern 6 is a mammoth, genial nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, compulsory gun ownership, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 5.917 billion Izern 6ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 78.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Izern 6ian economy, worth 799 trillion florins a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 135,105 florins, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

Scientists who publish a non-reproducible result are tarred and feathered, Michelin-star chefs are being called on to prepare menus for six-year-olds, wandering Izern 6ians are known for their one-track minds, and diplomats miss flights while wandering Izern 6 City Airport's endless art maze. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Izern 6's national animal is the swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Izern 6 is ranked 43,894^th in the world and 6^th in Voidwolf for Most Developed, scoring 78.75 on the Human Development Index.
