The Principality of Ithaque is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its daily referendums, disturbing lack of elderly people, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.311 billion Ithaqueans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 11.1%.

The strong Ithaquean economy, worth 76.3 trillion Drachmes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Furniture Restoration, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 58,177 Drachmes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

A referendum must be held in order for any new law to be passed, government bureaucrats review designs for birdhouses to ensure they do not block the views of neighbors, outdoor parties in Ithaque City are all the rave, and Furniture Restoration facilities are being turned into Dolphin habitats. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Ithaque's national animal is the Dolphin.

Ithaque is ranked 50,817^th in the world and 2^nd in Archipel for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 4,653.32 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
