The Republic of Kizab is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its parental licensing program, hatred of cheese, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 365 million Kizabians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lemkitria. The average income tax rate is 78.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Kizabian economy, worth 17.7 trillion Kacks 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 Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. Average income is 48,540 Kacks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Political talk shows often have children as guests whenever they need commentary on world religions, the new 'Who Wants To Be A Politician' election debate auditions are more popular than the debates themselves, all telephone traffic is monitored for 'national security reasons', and people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kizab's national animal is the Sturgeon, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Kizab is ranked 18,224^th in the world and 145^th in Europeia for Safest, scoring 114.64 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
