The Free Land of Isvarra is a very large, efficient nation, remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, sprawling nuclear power plants, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 272 million Isvarrans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.9%.

The thriving Isvarran economy, worth 20.7 trillion gyres a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is 76,009 gyres, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 265,884 per year while the poor average 15,788, a ratio of 16.8 to 1.

All tribal children are set for life with guaranteed government jobs, government officials frequently cut taxes as a distraction from antics with their secretaries, the government is ignoring the latest terrorist atrocities in Isvarra City for fear of causing a fuss, and passengers often cause a stink on public transport. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Isvarra's national animal is the sarus crane, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Isvarra is ranked 185,187^th in the world and 2^nd in Verdania for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -2 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
