The Republic of Itanland is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Ruben with an even hand, and notable for its irreverence towards religion, hatred of cheese, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 15.952 billion Itanlandians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Itandon. The average income tax rate is 53.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Itanlandian economy, worth a remarkable 4,730 trillion Itans a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 296,568 Itans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Tabloids publicly shun nurses for not calling home on the weekends, people invite random old men into their homes to play with their kids, citizens applying for their first jobs face fierce competition from the homeless, and government officials frequently cut taxes as a distraction from antics with their secretaries. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Itanland's national animal is the Cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Itanland is ranked 20,297^th in the world and 774^th in The North Pacific for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 5,525.43 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
