The Republic of Isocheria

“Ignem armis exstingue”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of Isocheria is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Overlord with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.59 billion Isocherians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Recluse. The average income tax rate is 63.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Isocherian economy, worth 106 trillion glazoes a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Soda Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 66,817 glazoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Picnickers are lucky if a few wasps are the only animals that trouble them, the nation is relieved that all of the recent madness has finally come to an end, the armed forces are locked in an expensive and bloody war abroad to stamp out possible terrorists, and a favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Isocheria's national animal is the western dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Isocheria is ranked 114,647^th in the world and 5,741^st in Balder for Most Developed, scoring 58.8 on the Human Development Index.
