The United Socialist States of Itusane is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The compassionate, hard-working population of 563 million Itusaneans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small government prioritizes Administration, although Welfare, Healthcare, and Law & Order are also considered important. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 16.0%.

The strong Itusanean economy, worth 35.3 trillion kronor a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 62,665 kronor, with the richest citizens earning 7.9 times as much as the poorest.

Genetic researchers have been expelled, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, a well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate, and reflection is vital for badly behaved politicians. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Itusane's national animal is the cow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Itusane is ranked 62,758^th in the world and 273^rd in Starlight for Nicest Citizens, with 16.66 average smiles per day.
