Illinois doesn't compete with its cities — it presides over them as the federation head, the seat of the bloc, the way Washington DC once stood over America. It sets the bloc budget, fields the federal army (62,558 soldiers, 2,172 tanks) and holds a defensive posture. If you go to war, you can pay the Crown in SFC dollars to fight alongside you, provided it's backing three or fewer wars at that moment.
