The Chéviosée Crown-Principality of Illusia and Neverendia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Lieselotte de Chévionne with a fair hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, ubiquitous missile silos, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 14.815 billion Illuverendians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Education, Administration, and Industry are also considered important, while Law & Order is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aria. The average income tax rate is 99.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Illuverendian economy, worth a remarkable 7,217 trillion Illuverendian marks a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 487,152 Illuverendian marks, with the richest citizens earning 5.5 times as much as the poorest.

Requests to "pass the salt" are supported by tank divisions, the realistic depiction of tentacles is on the core syllabus of most art schools, concussed eagleball players cannot remember their lineup position, and Illuverendian Gladiators is a ratings success. Crime is totally unknown. Illusia and Neverendia's national animal is the eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Church of IA.

Illusia and Neverendia is ranked 2,465^th in the world and 80^th in The North Pacific for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 14,608.75 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
