The Empire of Itani is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King William IV with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful population of 8.718 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 98.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Itanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,088 trillion Crowns a year, is 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 239,580 Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Itani has been recently classified as an international menace after 'liberating' several nearby territories, imitation is the sincerest form of felony, political clichés like "band-aid solutions" and "adrenaline shots to the economy" are headed for the dumpster, and glamping Itanians won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi. 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 Faith of the Eight.

Itani is ranked 2,041^st in the world and 53^rd in the South Pacific for Highest Food Quality, scoring 278.69 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
