The Unitary Democracy of Irizia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Phoenis Alegard with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 4.883 billion Iriziens enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pactokapsi. The average income tax rate is 77.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Irizian economy, worth 465 trillion Rizins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 95,412 Rizins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Kissing cousins produce the heartiest babies, Phoenis Alegard reduces citizens' commute times by giving away their homes, the government is allowing greater autonomy for some regions in the hopes of quelling growing secessionist movements, and idyllic countryside scenes see border collies herding sixty-ton dinosaurs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Irizia's national animal is the Whitewood Hummingbird, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Irizia is ranked 244,326^th in the world and 3,842^nd in The East Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -3.46 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
