The Republic of Izern 80 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, parental licensing program, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 2.881 billion Izern 80ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 49.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Izern 80ian economy, worth 312 trillion pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 108,304 pounds, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 442,703 per year while the poor average 17,541, a ratio of 25.2 to 1.

Citizens simply have to point a weapon at a government official to get what they want, the Communist Party claims that selling things for profit isn't necessarily capitalism, cotton candy made from genuine cotton cellulose doesn't quite satisfy, and weathermen are being arrested for attempting to read the future. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Izern 80's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Izern 80 is ranked 33,232nd in the world and 82nd in Izern for Most Developed, scoring 81.95 on the Human Development Index.
