The Republic of Itanland is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Ruben with an even hand, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, cheerful population of 19.463 billion Itanlandians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The minute government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Administration, although Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Defense and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Itandon. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Itanlandian economy, worth a remarkable 5,632 trillion Itans a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 289,410 Itans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Male friends are often accompanied by a female relative in order to prove their 'straightness', the education system is being cleansed of all corporate influence, children in school playgrounds can be heard chanting the hymns of the Order of Violet, and Itanland successfully hosted the The North Pacific Olympics. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Itanland's national animal is the Cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Itanland is ranked 1,234th in the world and 42nd in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 342 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
