The Republic of Itanland is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Ruben with a fair hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, compulsory vegetarianism, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 13.2 billion Itanlandians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Itandon. The average income tax rate is 71.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Itanlandian economy, worth a remarkable 3,648 trillion Itans a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 276,387 Itans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Mothers are routinely abandoning their children in the name of women's rights, the government is attempting to revitalize a gutted private sector, employers are never quite sure if graduates' qualifications have any merit or meaning, and Itandon spends billions upgrading public transport. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Itanland's national animal is the Cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Itanland is ranked 168,398^th in the world and 6,311^th in The North Pacific for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 2.11 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
