Illinois is a region of the North American continent on the planet Earth, with boundaries that were created as the area was settled as a geopolitical subdivision of the United States of America nation.

HistoryEdit

The city of Chicago, which was one of the largest cities in the United States, was located in the northeastern corner of the state. During the early years of the 20th century, the mob in Chicago became very powerful, to the point that the conventional government of Chicago nearly broke down.
