The People's Republic of Illysuir is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Governor Zowie Waterman with an iron fist, and notable for its ritual sacrifices, keen interest in outer space, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 21.822 billion Illysuirians 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Spirituality, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Iraka. The average income tax rate is 83.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Illysuirian economy, worth a remarkable 1,953 trillion Tyars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 89,534 Tyars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Visiting dignitaries often end up cuddling in the hot tub with Governor Zowie Waterman, the government is washing its hands of alleged corruption, Iraka's back alleys are rife with sausage eating, and rumours have it that a secret police is responsible for the recent spate of missing persons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Illysuir's national animal is the parrot, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Illysuir is ranked 53,023rd in the world and 2nd in Emmeria for Most Stationary, with 834.279327172 days.
