The State of As Ilhas is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor with an iron fist, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, compulsory military service, and complete lack of public education. The hard-working, cynical population of 26.516 billion As Ilhasians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Welfare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.2%.

The thriving As Ilhasian economy, worth 809 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Furniture Restoration, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 30,528 betales, with the richest citizens earning 8.9 times as much as the poorest.

Elections have been outlawed, As Ilhas has designated Westminster as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of As Ilhas in an international press conference. Crime is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. As Ilhas's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

As Ilhas is ranked 216,574^th in the world and 1^st in Conakry for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring zero on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
