The Reunified Territories of Iryllia is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Military Reconstruction Council with an iron fist, and renowned for its closed borders, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 16.042 billion Iryllians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry and Healthcare are also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Forqona. The average income tax rate is 66.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Iryllian economy, worth a remarkable 5,932 trillion Silvers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 369,822 Silvers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Wildlife have trouble navigating the electric fences surrounding national forests, the numbers on the latest spending report are reaching stellar levels, the government confiscates candy from babies for 'the greater good' of the nation, and the strong are acquitted and the weak are trampled in trial by a Wyvern. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Iryllia's national animal is the Wyvern, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Iryllia is ranked 41,143rd in the world and 10th in The Charter for Lowest Crime Rates, with 81.98 law-abiding acts per hour.
