The Colony of Iziba is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Izzy Lucas with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, smutty television, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, cynical population of 2.307 billion Izibans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lunaziba. The average income tax rate is 39.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Iziban economy, worth 143 trillion deniers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 62,245 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, internet searches for the inventor of the three-wheeled steam-powered Iziban weed picker are way up, the reams of paperwork accompanying any electronic item are a recognised contributor to national deforestation, and children gain their first sex education from reading the dictionary. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Iziba's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Iziba is ranked 88,527^th in the world and 1,542^nd in the Rejected Realms for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 2,092.25 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
