The Giant in the Trees of Illahee is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Harry Henderson with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, free-roaming dinosaurs, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 14.92 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 86.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Squatchy economy, worth a remarkable 3,452 trillion gold clams a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 231,426 gold clams, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is on the rise as online youths compete to vlog the most shocking scenes of violence, the only movement outdoors is of ramen-delivery drones, a vast monorail network carries people all over the country, and wandering Squatches are known for their one-track minds. 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 155,775^th in the world and 11^th in The Sasquatch Republic for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 803.95 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
