The Republic of Illeron is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, free-roaming dinosaurs, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 23.05 billion Illeronians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 92.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Illeronian economy, worth a remarkable 2,850 trillion Illiras 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 123,668 Illiras, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cosmopolitan citizens ask what their countries can do for them, national park visitors are reporting a rash of poison ivy sightings, criminals rejoice in the streets as the entire police force is sent away on a training retreat, and children are terrified that the 'flying police monster' will come to take them away in the night. Crime is totally unknown. Illeron's national animal is the Tardigrade, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Illeron is ranked 319,558^th in the world and 485^th in The Communist Bloc for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -11.87 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
