The Department of Ille-et-Vilaine is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Hoël Kerprigent with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 20.334 billion Brétilliens are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rennes. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 29.7%.

The very strong Brétillien economy, worth a remarkable 1,057 trillion francs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Woodchip Exports, and Trout Farming. Average income is 52,013 francs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 148,706 per year while the poor average 14,491, a ratio of 10.3 to 1.

Motorists must pay to enter inner-cities during peak hours, Tom and Jerry cartoons have cat and mouse resolving their problems with reasoned discussion, bicyclists are banned from major roads, and administrative districts are increasingly defined by their taste in housing architecture. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force. Ille-et-Vilaine's national animal is the ermine, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Ille-et-Vilaine is ranked 184,780^th in the world and 63^rd in Department Store for Lowest Crime Rates, with 58.03 law-abiding acts per hour.
