The Democratic Republic of Itsumo is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by President Park with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 3.654 billion Itsumoans 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 Environment, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rentai. The average income tax rate is 87.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Itsumoan economy, worth 342 trillion Won a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 93,666 Won, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All statues and paintings of dogs are being destroyed to avoid offending cat-lovers, nature reserves often contain artificial waterfalls and concrete paths, antique comic book collectors are disappointed to hear that their treasures are worth exactly as little as their mothers said they were, and one does not simply walk into the tundra. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Itsumo's national animal is the Black Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Itsumo is ranked 134,305^th in the world and 786^th in the Pacific for Largest Populations, with 3.65 billion capita.
