The United Principalities of Izil is a titanic, orderly nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, parental licensing program, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 13.31 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 67.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Izilian economy, worth a remarkable 1,725 trillion dinars a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 129,646 dinars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

The government is spending millions on alternative clean-burning fuels, lending money has become a major liability, the inner circle of Leader is looking more and more like a pink triangle, and bald-headed monks sit around the National Meditation Park looking smugly content. 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 47,231^st in the world and 1^st in Seora for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 4,704.4 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
