The Federation of Illyanisches Demokratische Republik is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its national health service, avowedly heterosexual populace, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 205 million Illyanisches Demokratische Republikians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 71.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Illyanisches Demokratische Republikian economy, worth 18.0 trillion Illyas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 87,900 Illyas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

School lockers are filled with fancy underwear, modern warfare's call of duty isn't popular with gamers these days, children spend all morning taking out a comma and all afternoon putting it back in again, and the Hanging Gardens account for half of Illyanisches Demokratische Republik City's water use. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Illyanisches Demokratische Republik's national animal is the Александр Белый, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Illyanisches Demokratische Republik is ranked 30,806^th in the world and 1^st in Z H I R E G A N C for Most Patriotic, with 37.92 flags saluted per person per day.
