The Fraternal Federation of Ilisseia is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Pietro Henry Aiden with an even hand, and notable for its parental licensing program, national health service, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful, devout population of 8.334 billion Ilisseians 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 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 90.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Ilisseian economy, worth 810 trillion Ili Rubles a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry. Average income is 97,271 Ili Rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Unstable couples are known to break up over which one gets parental leave, escargots have lost their charm ever since they started to be called 'cooked land snails', the nation's reputation for treachery has left it sidelined on the international stage, and the government has officially clarified that "wee on your hands to save time" does not count as proper hygiene. 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 172,994^th in the world and 4,154^th in The North Pacific for Largest Black Market, with 65.7 billion Standard Monetary Units.
