The ONCEness of Ilfarasia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Supreme ONCEcellor Prosavich with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 9.875 billion Ilfarasians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jonatown. The average income tax rate is 18.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ilfarasian economy, worth a remarkable 1,482 trillion creds a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 150,119 creds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, people with political aspirations study how to make balloon animals, commuters and their desktops both bemoan their hard drives, and gun-wielding gangsters sometimes deal death from as far as ten paces away. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ilfarasia's national animal is the pink panda, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Itzyism.

Ilfarasia is ranked 37,366^th in the world and 304^th in 10000 Islands for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 5,674.99 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
