The Republic of Izern 21 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its pith helmet sales, free-roaming dinosaurs, and frequent executions. The cynical population of 1.726 billion Izern 21ians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 63.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Izern 21ian economy, worth 154 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 89,540 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The dartboard at the Izern 21ian Cancer Research Charity bears a picture of Leader's face, all industry is owned and run by the government, public loudspeakers constantly tell citizens they are "happy people", and translators have been hired to deal with the varying regional accents during national political debates. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Izern 21's national animal is the emu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Izern 21 is ranked 52,506^th in the world and 11^th in New Izern Farm Thingymabob for Most Patriotic, with 32.39 flags saluted per person per day.
