The Republic of Itanland is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Ruben with an even hand, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, zero percent divorce rate, and prohibition of alcohol. The compassionate population of 21.011 billion Itanlandians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The minute, corrupt government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Administration, although Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Defense and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Itandon. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Itanlandian economy, worth a remarkable 6,026 trillion Itans a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 286,839 Itans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

All children's clothes come in only cream and off-white to prevent offense, the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, police regularly arrest families playing Monopoly, and students and teachers are regularly stopped and searched for symbols of religious affiliation before class. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Itanland's national animal is the Cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Itanland is ranked 251,067^th in the world and 5,185^th in The North Pacific for Safest, scoring 22.64 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
