The Democratic Republic of Operation ITC is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 392 million Operation ITCians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 72.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Operation ITCian economy, worth 2.45 trillion francs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Cheese Exports, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 6,251 francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Operation ITC's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Operation ITC is ranked 293,326^th in the world and 1^st in International Tobacco Corporation for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 301.32 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
