The Liberal Utopia of Itsebed

“Everyone, side by side until the end of time and space.”

The Liberal Utopia of Itsebed is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Unnamed One with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 1.686 billion Itsebeds are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 77.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Itsebedian economy, worth 62.0 trillion Rupiae Moscoviaes a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Soda Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 36,775 Rupiae Moscoviaes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Babies are a small but significant export, the Finance Ministry posts hourly updates on where taxpayer money is spent, the Itsebedian Intelligence Agency relies on internet search engines to know what is happening overseas, and penurious citizens die from easily remedied ailments because they aren't 'taking enough initiative'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Itsebed's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Itsebed is ranked 34,270^th in the world and 397^th in Europe for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,476.58 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
