The Federal Republic of Jyzeria is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Valentina Stark with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 11.286 billion Jyzerians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Law & Order, and Industry are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valencia. The average income tax rate is 80.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Jyzerian economy, worth a remarkable 1,619 trillion Jyzes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 143,539 Jyzes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Party-lovers often change religions just for the weekend, citizens may cast their vote over the internet or phone, the government is promoting multicultural values with the new 'Just Be Nice, OK?' initiative, and jails have become colloquially known as 'vampire houses'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jyzeria's national animal is the Peregrine Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Marjam.

Jyzeria is ranked 10,924^th in the world and 334^th in The East Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 98,787.51 Standard Monetary Units.
