The Liberalist Utopia of Itsebed is a massive, safe nation, ruled by the Unnamed One with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.84 billion Itsebeds enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 77.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Itsebedian economy, worth 70.3 trillion Rupiae Moscoviaes a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Soda Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 38,229 Rupiae Moscoviaes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The country's population is reported with a margin of error of several billions, prisoners can't do number twos without their "toilet buddy" present, military equipment is being auctioned off to extend comatose centenarians' lives, and The Unnamed One seems to wear red a lot these days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Itsebed's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Itsebed is ranked 7,360^th in the world and 147^th in Europe for Least Corrupt Governments, with 94.64 percentage of bribes refused.
