The República Federativa of Ilha do Leste is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Junta Nacional de Salvação with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-working population of 3.872 billion Ilha do Lesteans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, liberal government prioritizes Education, although Industry, Defense, and Environment are also considered important, while International Aid receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Porto Novo. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.4%.

The powerhouse Ilha do Lestean economy, worth 309 trillion Escudoes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 79,830 Escudoes, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

Translators have been hired to deal with the varying regional accents during national political debates, people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, and the military recognizes no difference between male and female soldiers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Ilha do Leste's national animal is the Green Sea Turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Ilha do Leste is ranked 66,595^th in the world and 4,007^th in Lazarus for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 3,290.62 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
