The Free Land of Ilmatil is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, ban on automobiles, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 375 million Ilnas love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government prioritizes Healthcare, although Defense, Law & Order, and Administration are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 52.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Ilmatian economy, worth 10.4 trillion Finnas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Cheese Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 27,614 Finnas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Drills and shovels have been banned as the government cracks down on any means of fracking, political detractors refer to Leader as 'that Bigtopian puppet', children are brainwashed at a young age to accept "love and peace!" as a way of life, and local executives are seen on the corner with cardboard signs reading "will oppress the masses for food". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ilmatil's national animal is the Sparrow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ilmatil is ranked 160,045^th in the world and 7,028^th in The North Pacific for Most Pro-Market, scoring 18.75 on the Rand Index.
