The Queendom of Iluris is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Jessica Hooves with an even hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, parental licensing program, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 30.684 billion Ilurisians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dandelion Heights. The average income tax rate is 99.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Ilurisian economy, worth a remarkable 5,172 trillion ilurans a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 168,560 ilurans, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Beating enemies to death with a baseball bat is legal if done within nine innings, finders keepers is the law of the land, the dance skills of Jessica Hooves are said to be almost as subversive as their politics, and political scientists despair as the national mascot election eclipses all others in voter enthusiasm. Crime is totally unknown. Iluris's national animal is the spotted hyena, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Princess Celestianity.

Iluris is ranked 310,826^th in the world and 112^th in Equestria for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -47.17 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
