The ONCEness of Ilfarasia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Supreme ONCEcellor Prosavich with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, pith helmet sales, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 8.336 billion Ilfarasians 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jonatown. The average income tax rate is 9.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ilfarasian economy, worth a remarkable 1,273 trillion creds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 152,737 creds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Statue-sitting has replaced the stake-out as the dullest form of police duty, candlelit dinners are less romantic with a flickering LED, statistics show that terrorists often come from broken families, and savvy students quote paywalled research knowing that university lecturers can't afford to check the citations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ilfarasia's national animal is the pink panda, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Itzyism.

Ilfarasia is ranked 60,903^rd in the world and 279^th in 10000 Islands for Largest Populations, with 8.34 billion capita.
