The ONCEness of Ilfarasia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Supreme ONCEcellor Prosavich with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, frequent executions, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 5.927 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 medium-sized, 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 37.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Ilfarasian economy, worth a remarkable 1,059 trillion creds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 178,788 creds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Printing out government documents requires the approval of at least three admins, charity workers were first up against the wall when the time came, parents live in fear of governmental 'child protection' squads, and it is mandatory to learn evolution in schools. 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 hornbill, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Pink Pandaism.

Ilfarasia is ranked 14,027^th in the world and 199^th in 10000 Islands for Lowest Crime Rates, with 90.49 law-abiding acts per hour.
