The Democratic Federation of Iserk is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Jason B Saddler with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 7.839 billion Iserkians 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Education are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gatrea. The average income tax rate is 95.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Iserkian economy, worth a remarkable 1,215 trillion Dokks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 155,101 Dokks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Creating cardboard imitations of missiles is a new top-secret military project, the government has become increasingly militant, the national security service are a bunch of crooks, and travellers are often forcibly evicted by torch-bearing mobs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Iserk's national animal is the Haast's Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Orthodox.

Iserk is ranked 3,898th in the world and 1st in United Alliance for Lowest Crime Rates, with 122.84 law-abiding acts per hour.
