The People's Republic of Illebare is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Most Glorious And High Supreme Leader with an iron fist, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.187 billion Illebareans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized morass — prioritizes Administration, with Healthcare, Industry, and Environment also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Erabelli. The average income tax rate is 82.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Illebarean economy, worth 240 trillion Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, extremely specialized black market in Retail and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an impressive 110,167 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Clergy do their best to cover up their old tattoos, most people suffer from some form of hearing loss, punk rockers smash it up and then clean it up, and hundreds of sailors ride the good ship Most Glorious And High Supreme Leader day after day. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Illebare's national animal is the Goat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Illebare is ranked 30,715^th in the world and 31^st in Union of Allied States for Highest Poor Incomes, with 74,236.66 Standard Monetary Units.
