The Armed Republic of Iltham is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Prime Chancellor with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, pith helmet sales, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 1.474 billion Ilthami are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Navaris. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Ilthamian economy, worth 304 trillion Crows a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 206,877 Crows, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 854,327 per year while the poor average 32,935, a ratio of 25.9 to 1.

Peace talks occasionally rack up a higher body count than the wars they seek to stop, citizens living in underground cities have developed a healthy green glow, the government seizes all major gold finds, and it's a marvellous night for a moon dance as the sparks on your home start to rise. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Iltham's national animal is the Redspine Serpent, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Iltham is ranked 226,451st in the world and 647th in Concord for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring zero on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
