The United Principalities of Izil is a titanic, cultured nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 13.177 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, Administration, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 57.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Izilian economy, worth a remarkable 1,724 trillion dinars a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 130,901 dinars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 495,695 per year while the poor average 24,023, a ratio of 20.6 to 1.

Oxygen is commonly known as 'breathinium', sunfoxes with strange deformities like three eyes and tentacles have been seen prancing through the countryside where industrial waste is dumped, the annual government yacht trip is sponsored by criminal syndicates, and flash floods that dams could have controlled regularly ravage small towns in mountain valleys. Crime, especially youth-related, 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 15,717^th in the world and 2^nd in Seora for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 7,088.13 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
