The Fraternal Federation of Ilisseia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Henry Aiden with an even hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, zero percent divorce rate, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 11.062 billion Ilisseians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Illondcamwigburg. The average income tax rate is 94.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Ilisseian economy, worth a remarkable 1,264 trillion Ili Rubles a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 114,345 Ili Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Search and rescue forces now accept cheques and all major credit cards, government-run screening operations remove embryos with severe genetic disorders, troublemakers boast about how many times they have to visit their therapist, and therapists can always squeeze in another house-call. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ilisseia's national animal is the Sun Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ilisseia is ranked 22,010^th in the world and 1,154^th in The North Pacific for Most Income Equality, scoring 77.47 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
