The Democratic Republic of Itsark is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Eisenberg o gato with a fair hand, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, digital currency, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.74 billion Itsarques 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, corrupt, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Itsariania. The average income tax rate is 80.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Itsarkian economy, worth 460 trillion miaus a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, highly specialized black market in Trout Farming, Book Publishing, Soda Sales, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 97,070 miaus, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A new apartment is worth a thousand betrayals, foreign despots proudly bandstand on Itsarkian airwaves, explicit slash fiction is repackaged for kindergarten kids as stories about friends cuddling friends, and anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper. Crime is totally unknown. Itsark's national animal is the Gato Branco, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Itsark is ranked 85,617th in the world and 863rd in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 544.26522111448 days.
