The Fraternal Federation of Ilisseia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Pietro Henry Aiden with an even hand, and remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, complete lack of prisons, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 8.625 billion Ilisseians 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Illondcamwigburg. The average income tax rate is 90.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ilisseian economy, worth 858 trillion Ili Rubles a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. Average income is 99,536 Ili Rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Eau de Trashcan has become a wildly popular perfume, all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, exorbitant spending on icebreakers breaks the ice at every budget meeting, and business owners return from long vacations to find their factories have been turned into homeless shelters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ilisseia's national animal is the Sun Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ilisseia is ranked 561^st in the world and 37^th in The North Pacific for Best Weather, with 860 Meters Of Sunlight.
