The Republic of Izern 64 is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.901 billion Izern 64ians 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, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 71.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Izern 64ian economy, worth 370 trillion bitcoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 127,801 bitcoins, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 575,108 per year while the poor average 17,520, a ratio of 32.8 to 1.

Mothers drive their college-graduate children to work, dog breeding has been banned in accordance with recent animal experimentation laws, devotion to God is only skin-deep, and Scrabble champions have been left scrambling for scraps. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Izern 64's national animal is the giraffe.

Izern 64 is ranked 36,521^st in the world and 65^th in Izern for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 2,432.32 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
