The Burning Nation of Ithapher is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Queen Amadea de Lacu I with an even hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, zero percent divorce rate, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 5.816 billion Ithapherians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Coruscus. The average income tax rate is 95.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Ithaphite economy, worth 619 trillion Animites a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Retail, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 106,534 Animites, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.
Vaccinations are mandatory, celebrity foodies are biting a huge chunk out of the government budget, government buildings are being cleansed of anything that might have racist connotations, and what citizens give with one hand they take away with the other. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ithapher's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Order of Ithapher.
Ithapher is ranked 77,451st in the world and 702nd in Balder for Most Stationary, with 625.12319714312 days.
