The Federal Republic of Ilha Nova do Sul is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Presidente Moisés Nascimento with a fair hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, anti-smoking policies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.104 billion Sulilenseses 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ilhas Unidas. The average income tax rate is 55.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Ilha Nova do Sulian economy, worth 109 trillion Reais a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 98,934 Reais, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The new national mascot has to be wheeled onto the field of play, people invite random old men into their homes to play with their kids, workers of "fairweather faith" claim six months of paid leave for holy days per year, and travelers are subject to extensive searches if beet stains are visible on their clothing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ilha Nova do Sul's national animal is the Arara-azul, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ilha Nova do Sul is ranked 123,421^st in the world and 376^th in Concord for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,582.97 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
