The Empire of Itani is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by King William IV with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 13.895 billion Itanians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, corrupt, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alinor. The average income tax rate is 98.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Itanian economy, worth a remarkable 3,598 trillion Crowns a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 258,945 Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Starving citizens are offered nuclear pasta, dissing one's former country is a prerequisite to apply for Itanian citizenship, grade school teachers mark homework with red "CITATION NEEDED" stamps, and only adults may purchase violent video games. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Itani's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The Faith of the Eight.

Itani is ranked 17,387^th in the world and 177^th in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 8,478.2 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
