The Democratic Federation of Iserk is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Jason B Saddler with an iron fist, and renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace, frequent executions, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 7.921 billion Iserkians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Education also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gatrea. The average income tax rate is 95.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Iserkian economy, worth a remarkable 1,221 trillion Dokks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 154,262 Dokks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Creating cardboard imitations of missiles is a new top-secret military project, the government has become increasingly militant, the national security service are a bunch of crooks, and travellers are often forcibly evicted by torch-bearing mobs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Iserk's national animal is the Haast's Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Orthodox.

Iserk is ranked 219,349th in the world and 17th in United Alliance for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -4.69 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
