“Soar With The Eagles! ”

The Republic of ILVSIVM II is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Fearless Leader with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 8.016 billion 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 Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Eagles Nest. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Gambling and Information Technology.

The number of students attending university has reached a record high, notable individuals are granted land and titles, graffiti artists spend lengthy periods of time in jail, and the armed forces are locked in an expensive and bloody war abroad to stamp out possible terrorists. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ILVSIVM II's national animal is the Sea Eagle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Tallon.

ILVSIVM II is ranked 1181st in the region and 53,874th in the world for Best Weather.
