The Island Colony of Ilbluaca is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its burgeoning blue seahorse population. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 27.779 billion Ilbluacans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 28.3%.

The strong Ilbluacan economy, worth a remarkable 1,009 trillion blue saars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Woodchip Exports, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 36,325 blue saars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

College students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, punitive tariffs protect local industry, the tenet of free speech is held dear, and genetic researchers have been expelled. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ilbluaca's national animal is the blue seahorse.

Ilbluaca is ranked 88,527^th in the world and 4^th in Island for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 12,806.71 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
