The Federal Arsenal of Izhmash is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Supreme Soviet of Izhmash with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, anti-smoking policies, and fear of technology. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 25.787 billion Izhmashians 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 juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Izhevsk. The average income tax rate is 89.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Izhmashian economy, worth a remarkable 4,162 trillion AK 74Ms a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 161,400 AK 74Ms, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The nation has reverted back to an agrarian society after anything more advanced than the wheel was banned, bands of paramedics walk the streets looking for suspicious medical activity, Maxtopian tourists make expensive pilgrimages to Izhevsk to enjoy their national art, and nihilistic thrill-seekers claim that suicide by roller coaster is the ultimate life experience. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Izhmash's national animal is the Polar Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Secular.

Izhmash is ranked 4,292^nd in the world and 247^th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 120.24 law-abiding acts per hour.
