The Republic in Exile of Iturributa is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-working, democratic population of 25.563 billion Iturributans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, liberal government prioritizes Welfare, with Education and Healthcare also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Iturributa. The average income tax rate is 50.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Iturributan economy, worth a remarkable 1,231 trillion Iturributan Dirus a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Furniture Restoration, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 48,170 Iturributan Dirus, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Scientists recently cloned the long-extinct feather-bellied Albatross, elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, Iturributa has designated Iturributa as its capital city, and the government is frequently held to ransom by the increasing demands of bloodthirsty pirates. Crime is totally unknown. Iturributa's national animal is the Albatross, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Iturributa is ranked 151,565^th in the world and 21^st in Rushmore for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 462.34 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
