The Isle of Ilvia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its parental licensing program, keen interest in outer space, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed population of 18.53 billion Ilvians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 38.6%.

The all-consuming Ilvian economy, worth a remarkable 1,330 trillion drakes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 71,776 drakes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Internet trolls are considered valiant supporters of the right to free speech, there is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality, commuters travel in zigzags to avoid stalking accusations, and taxpayer money is hard at work exorcizing laundry. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ilvia's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ilvia is ranked 141,061^st in the world and 18^th in Lennart for Most Pacifist, with 68.18 cheeks turned per day.
