The Republic of ITBToo is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by US Marshal Rooster Cogburn with a fair hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 2.049 billion ITBTooans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ankh-Morpork. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.9%.

The frighteningly efficient ITBTooan economy, worth 202 trillion Bits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is 98,954 Bits, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 563,888 per year while the poor average 8,434, a ratio of 66.9 to 1.

The invisible hand of the market wipes babies' bottoms, restaurants have noticed that hanging wet laundry from the ceiling makes diners order more food, maximum security fish farms leave caged salmon pining for the fjords, and it's rumored that Marche Noire knows what the nation's generals eat for breakfast. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. ITBToo's national animal is the Leopard, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

ITBToo is ranked 37,791st in the world and 5th in Texas for Highest Drug Use, scoring 312.51 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
