The Oppressed Peoples of Ituraitz is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its complete absence of social welfare and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working population of 19.63 billion Ituraitzis are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Environment, although Law & Order, Education, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.2%.

The thriving Ituraitzi economy, worth 342 trillion Dirus a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 17,433 Dirus, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 76,228 per year while the poor average 2,515, a ratio of 30.3 to 1.

The Ituraitz Enquirer offers weekly cash prizes for 'most blasphemous song, story, or cartoon', the government pours millions of Dirus into rehabilitation programs annually, the government has started a campaign to crack down on road rage and encourage alternate means of commuting, and teenagers are told they're not thinking about sex enough. Crime is a problem. Ituraitz's national animal is the Lehoi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ituraitz is ranked 195,430^th in the world and 70^th in Rushmore for Most Corrupt Governments, with 1.51 kickbacks per hour.
