The Armed Republic of Isturc is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 122 million are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and the Environment. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 47%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales industries.

The nation's train stations are widely considered to be the ugliest in Arizon, people are now classified as male, female, or genderqueer, surrealist houses shaped like mushrooms and volcanoes dominate the wealthiest neighborhoods, and phone taps are frequently carried out by the police. Crime is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Isturc's national animal is the Panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Crudot.
