The Empire of Itani is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by King William IV with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 13.885 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 3,595 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 258,966 Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Signs at the border tell international drivers where they can put their cars, religious education is a new government priority, starving citizens are offered nuclear pasta, and dissing one's former country is a prerequisite to apply for Itanian citizenship. 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 278,213^th in the world and 3,553^rd in the South Pacific for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -5.87 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
