The Republic of Itanland is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Ruben with an even hand, and renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace, free-roaming dinosaurs, and smutty television. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 19.778 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, moralistic government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Administration, although Law & Order, Education, and Industry are also considered important, while Defense and Spirituality aren't funded at all. 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 5,732 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 289,851 Itans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Edgy teens know that illegal discos are where the cool cats hang, the government has cautiously opted to support women's suffrage, disadvantaged neighbourhoods have become no-go areas after sundown, and graffiti artists spend lengthy periods of time in jail. 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 991^st in the world and 48^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 991.05 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
