The Armed Republic of Israblof is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Technocratic Board with an even hand, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 1.639 billion Israblofians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tel Aviv. The average income tax rate is 82.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Israblofian economy, worth 278 trillion Shmekels 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 170,178 Shmekels, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens can only enjoy the splendor of the natural world in designated 'Majesty Appreciation' zones, foreigners must sell an arm and a leg to afford surgery in Israblof, it is a silent spring in Israblof, and employers are finding it hard to screen candidates now that everyone gets A grades in their exams. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Israblof's national animal is the Rus Devil, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Judeo Atheism.

Israblof is ranked 18,151^st in the world and 315^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 3,548.02 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
