The Republic of Izern 79 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its disturbing lack of elderly people, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 2.671 billion Izern 79ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 65.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Izern 79ian economy, worth 284 trillion francs a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 106,377 francs, with the richest citizens earning 7.2 times as much as the poorest.

People are arrested for looking too sternly at whales, the government regularly reassures citizens that there are no monsters under their beds, it's never "just a game" with Izern 79ian sports fans, and the nation is infamous for its mass graves of discarded robots. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Izern 79's national animal is the giraffe, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Izern 79 is ranked 236,622^nd in the world and 419^th in Izern for Fattest Citizens, with 8.06 Obesity Rate.
