The Republic of Ilkra is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by President with a fair hand, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, free-roaming dinosaurs, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 12.208 billion Ilkrans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ithaca. The average income tax rate is 32.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ilkran economy, worth a remarkable 3,195 trillion Shekels a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 261,792 Shekels, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

It's said that President can turn every pleasure into a chore, the government is deliberately installing bloatware onto computers, Ilkra's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, and sex changes are routinely performed at Ilkra's hospitals. Crime is totally unknown. Ilkra's national animal is the Tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Humanism.

Ilkra is ranked 4,164^th in the world and 7^th in Wintreath for Highest Poor Incomes, with 176,264.67 Standard Monetary Units.
