The United Federation of Itomoria is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Aria with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, soft-spoken computers, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, democratic population of 9.687 billion Federation Citizens love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of San Francisco. The average income tax rate is 81.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Itomorian economy, worth 837 trillion Energy Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Trout Farming. Average income is 86,503 Energy Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Lifeguards are more concerned with watching for sharks than struggling swimmers, families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, the police strictly enforce off-limit zones for tourists, and visitors often mistake the toiletplex at music festivals for the main stage. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Itomoria's national animal is the Caracal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Itomoria is ranked 36,750^th in the world and 583^rd in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 223.44 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
