The Kingdom of South Italian State is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its restrictive gun laws, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 8.044 billion South Italian Stateans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 47.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant South Italian Statean economy, worth 69.5 trillion lire a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, Woodchip Exports, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 8,637 lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Harry Potter books are banned, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, public urination is on the increase, and parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. South Italian State's national animal is the wolf.

South Italian State is ranked 179,928^th in the world and 5^th in The Union of Religious Nations for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 415.02 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
