The Republic of Itanland is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Ruben with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, ritual sacrifices, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, cheerful population of 20.767 billion Itanlandians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The minute, corrupt, moralistic government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Administration, although Education, Law & Order, and Environment are also considered important, while Defense and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Itandon. Income tax is unheard of.
The frighteningly efficient Itanlandian economy, worth a remarkable 5,929 trillion Itans a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 285,518 Itans, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,017,824 per year while the poor average 57,608, a ratio of 17.7 to 1.
The government tells its citizens to 'forgive and forget', thousands of picky mothers-in-law have been recruited to serve as even pickier cookery instructors, citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling", and teachers are dying as they attempt to read 500 word essays without pausing for breath. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Itanland's national animal is the Cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Itanland is ranked 680th in the world and 27th in The North Pacific for Highest Workforce Participation Rate, with 95.87 Workforce Participation Rate.
