The Republic of Itoriusa is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, compulsory military service, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, devout population of 7.251 billion Itoriusans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 68.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Itoriusan economy, worth 679 trillion florins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 93,731 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Crabs are considered a delicacy, 4-year-olds studying for their mathematics exams are anxious that they will be unemployable in adulthood if they fail, the tax agency is feared more than serial killers and terrorists, and I-SPAN viewership drops as MPs act their age. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Itoriusa's national animal is the crab, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Itoriusa is ranked 38,248^th in the world and 2^nd in Bus Stop for Highest Poor Incomes, with 65,648.06 Standard Monetary Units.
