The Federation of Illyanisches Demokratische Republik is a very large, efficient nation, remarkable for its punitive income tax rates, suspicion of poets, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 155 million Illyanisches Demokratische Republikians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.2%.

The thriving Illyanisches Demokratische Republikian economy, worth 12.8 trillion Illyas a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Retail.

Average income is 82,525 Illyas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 244,290 per year while the poor average 21,897, a ratio of 11.2 to 1.

Flatulent people are left to die of cancer at the end of hospital waiting lists, citizens have an obligation to remain silent and anything they say may be used against them, running away is an essential part of the elite forces' hand-to-hand training, and military pilots spend more time scraping feathers off their engines than flying their aircraft. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Illyanisches Demokratische Republik's national animal is the Александр Белый, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
