The Easter Giant in the Trees of Illahee is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Paddy Henderson with a fair hand, and remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 18.811 billion Squatches hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wahkiakum. The average income tax rate is 86.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Squatchy economy, worth a remarkable 4,360 trillion golds a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 231,786 golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The only movement outdoors is of ramen-delivery drones, a vast monorail network carries people all over the country, wandering Squatches are known for their one-track minds, and the airship business has been driven out of the country by strict regulations and high fines. Crime is totally unknown. Illahee's national animal is the Bigfoot, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Squatch Rite.

Illahee is ranked 158,893^rd in the world and 3^rd in The Sasquatch Republic for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 808.2 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
