The Most Serene Republic of Illyrial is a tiny, safe nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 18 million Illyrialians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 16.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Illyrialian economy, worth 713 billion dollars a year, is led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Furniture Restoration, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 39,623 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Only fully-fledged members of MENSA are allowed to vote, the government prefers to kill off its enemies by peaceful means, the nation is known abroad mostly for its Parliamentary antics, and air fresheners are the most popular solution to gas leaks. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Illyrial's national animal is the pig, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Illyrial is ranked 193,619^th in the world and 892^nd in the Outback for Highest Drug Use, scoring 105.57 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
