The Republic of Iznikmid is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by TheT41 with an iron fist, and notable for its prohibition of alcohol, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 5.831 billion Iznikmidians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 48.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Iznikmidian economy, worth 395 trillion Iznikmid Lire a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 67,841 Iznikmid Lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Victims of crime are viewed as less trustworthy than politicians, it's been a banner year for local vexillology, shoppers carry protractors to verify their produce, and government officials go door-to-door educating about the dangers of pseudoscience. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Iznikmid's national animal is the Betta Fish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Secular State.

Iznikmid is ranked 78,985^th in the world and 2^nd in Scratch nationstates community for Safest, scoring 91.94 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
