The United Principalities of Izil is a colossal, cultured nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, public floggings, and frequent executions. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 7.997 billion Izilians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 39.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Izilian economy, worth 733 trillion dinars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Tourism. Average income is 91,682 dinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Atheists refusing to attend church are heavily fined by the government, Izilian husbands are dead good at fathering kids, the roar of the Niagara 3000 mega-loo can be heard several blocks away, and trick-or-treaters and circus clowns have been arrested under suspicion of being renegade vigilantes. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable 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 266,419^th in the world and 6^th in Seora for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -8.89 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
