The Illusion of Isokenzar is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Isocato with an even hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 14.373 billion Isokenzarians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sector 47. The average income tax rate is 75.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Isokenzarian economy, worth a remarkable 2,040 trillion z-bits 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 Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 141,971 z-bits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Blue sky thinkers are reminded that the firmament is actually more of a grey-ish colour, what's in your genes matters more than what's in your jeans, TV coverage of music festivals consists mostly of backstage interviews, and kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Isokenzar's national animal is the stinking dwarf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is the Ongoing Existential Crisis.

Isokenzar is ranked 312,257th in the world and 5,103rd in the South Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -586.13 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
