The Republic of Izern 94 is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, enslaved workforce, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.422 billion Izern 94ians 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 75.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Izern 94ian economy, worth 285 trillion lire a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 118,066 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

The nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms, the dictionary is a common first book for children, the sick and dying are locked in their homes with a red "X" painted on the front door, and people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Izern 94's national animal is the bison, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Izern 94 is ranked 123,541^st in the world and 209^th in Izern for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,675.15 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
