The United Socialist States of Itusane is a very large, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and restrictive gun laws. The hard-working population of 464 million Itusaneans are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.6%.

The very strong Itusanean economy, worth 27.4 trillion kronor a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Cheese Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 58,988 kronor, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 180,197 per year while the poor average 14,967, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Genetic researchers have been expelled, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, a well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate, and reflection is vital for badly behaved politicians. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Itusane's national animal is the cow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Itusane is ranked 58,280^th in the world and 80^th in Starlight for Fattest Citizens, with 13.14 Obesity Rate.
