The Fraternal Federation of Ilisseia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Berluscono Vladimirovotch with an even hand, and renowned for its public floggings, keen interest in outer space, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 4.119 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 government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Illondcamwigburg. The average income tax rate is 91.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Ilisseian economy, worth 400 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 reasonably common. Average income is 97,313 Ili Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Officials pull all-nighters to check immigrants for potential links to terrorists, prime real estate is devoted to wind farms and solar energy generators, Illondcamwigburg's main city thoroughfare has been blocked by a row of leyland cypresses that mysteriously appeared overnight, and no animal is considered endangered if there's another that looks kind of like it. 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 3,211^th in the world and 164^th in The North Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 10,083.04 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
