The Grand Duchy of Ivil is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Ivil1 with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 8.606 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Education, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of FUBAR. The average income tax rate is 65%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

Much of Ivil's computer network is controlled by a rampant artificial intelligence, the government has instituted 'traveller reservations' across the country, people are now classified as male, female, or genderqueer, and the military is blowing up any threat to employment within the nation. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ivil's national animal is the Mary's cute little lamb, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Talent.

Ivil is ranked 242nd in Europe and 30,708th in the world for Largest Public Sector, scoring 15 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
