The Republic of Itonderny is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ubiquitous missile silos, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.259 billion Itondernyians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 20.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Itondernyian economy, worth 212 trillion whispers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 168,445 whispers, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,518,759 per year while the poor average 2,290, a ratio of 663 to 1.

Children are seen fighting in the playground for bread scraps that fall out of diamond-encrusted lunchboxes, whole-wheat loaves can only be ordered on the dark web, the police use sound cannons and mortars to deal with loud parties, and childish pranks are no laughing matter. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Itonderny's national animal is the cow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Itonderny is ranked 329,320^th in the world and 60^th in Free Democracies International for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -16.73 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
