The Empire of Itani is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by King William IV with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 13.768 billion Itanians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, corrupt, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alinor. The average income tax rate is 98.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Itanian economy, worth a remarkable 3,545 trillion Crowns a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 257,502 Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Class action lawsuits have gone up in smoke thanks to government interference, skateparks can be found in every city, the government is continually probing the galaxy in search of alien life, and AI citizens are criticized for being robotic. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Itani's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The Faith of the Eight.

Itani is ranked 5,503^rd in the world and 140^th in the South Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 7,916.72 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
