The Commonwealth of Italistralia is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its pith helmet sales, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 2.147 billion Italistralians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Canberrome. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.1%.

The thriving Italistralian economy, worth 138 trillion bitdollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 64,309 bitdollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 227,636 per year while the poor average 13,117, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Babies are increasingly seen as a luxury, drawing men's naughty bits isn't considered to be art, the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, and former school buses now regularly shuttle kids to the nearest shopping centers to work. Crime is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. Italistralia's national animal is the Triceratops.

Italistralia is ranked 145,796^th in the world and 2^nd in Stagonia for Most Patriotic, with 9.69 flags saluted per person per day.
