The United Principalities of Izil is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, ban on automobiles, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 13.241 billion Izilians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 66.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Izilian economy, worth a remarkable 1,723 trillion dinars a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Retail. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 130,135 dinars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

The treehouse in Sunfox Park is the tallest building in Izil, forest fires have dropped dramatically as there are hardly any forests left, bread-gangs raid restaurant waste bins to stockpile uneaten rolls, and The Very Hungry Caterpillar has been banned for advocating gluttony. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Izil's national animal is the sunfox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Izil is ranked 183,319th in the world and 2nd in Seora for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 285.7 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
