The Republic of Izaiya is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The President with a fair hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, national health service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 4.835 billion Visaiyans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gaio. The average income tax rate is 71.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Visaiyan economy, worth 576 trillion Phahts a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 119,272 Phahts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Elementary school students are required to master Bach's Chaconne in D before graduation, tax rises are attributed to divine will, people can't decide between preserving forests and buying print copies of 'Dogman Versus The Giggler', and body doubles and armed bodyguards escort witnesses to and from courtrooms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Izaiya's national animal is the White Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Religious Tolerance.

Izaiya is ranked 11,953^rd in the world and 208^th in 10000 Islands for Nicest Citizens, with 29.98 average smiles per day.
