The Empire of Itani is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by King William IV with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, cheerful population of 8.708 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 2,083 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 239,311 Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Chickens frolic freely on swings and roundabouts in Alinor's playgrounds, college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, Itani has been recently classified as an international menace after 'liberating' several nearby territories, and imitation is the sincerest form of felony. 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 8,576^th in the world and 253^rd in the South Pacific for Safest, scoring 123.34 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
