The Empire of Itani is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by King William IV with an even hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, national health service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 8.771 billion Itanians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, corrupt, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alinor. The average income tax rate is 98.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Itanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,095 trillion Crowns a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 238,932 Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government puts forth the claim that harming young girls is wrong, adults pretending to be teenage girls claim to have wholesome motives, politicians can be seen taking candy from babies, and traumatised refugees have a full bedpan shoved into their hands along with their immigration papers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Itani's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Faith of the Eight.

Itani is ranked 2,904^th in the world and 77^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 708.35 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
