The Easter Giant in the Trees of Illahee is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Paddy Henderson with a fair hand, and notable for its vat-grown people, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 18.787 billion Squatches hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wahkiakum. The average income tax rate is 86.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Squatchy economy, worth a remarkable 4,354 trillion golds a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 231,786 golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The only movement outdoors is of ramen-delivery drones, a vast monorail network carries people all over the country, wandering Squatches are known for their one-track minds, and the airship business has been driven out of the country by strict regulations and high fines. Crime is totally unknown. Illahee's national animal is the Bigfoot, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Squatch Rite.

Illahee is ranked 298,400th in the world and 8th in The Sasquatch Republic for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -10.62 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
