The Softness ☁️🛏️🪶 of Izzalia is a huge, safe nation, ruled by Izzy with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 758 million Izzalians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zaliz. The average income tax rate is 85.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Izzalian economy, worth 58.6 trillion plushes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 77,356 plushes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There has been a rapid increase of noise complaints over the sound of buzzing bees, Izzy has just been declared ruler of Izzalia in an international press conference, pulling weeds is seen as a threat to national security, and the nation is Refugia's leading manufacturer of intricately-patterned sweaters. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Izzalia's national animal is the rainbow fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Izzalia is ranked 2,980^th in the world and 33^rd in Refugia for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 3,478.19 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
