The Dominion of The Italian Train is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, prohibition of alcohol, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.498 billion Italian Trainians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rome Italia. The average income tax rate is 30.7%.

The Italian Trainian economy, worth 54.7 trillion Florins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Uranium Mining, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 36,512 Florins, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.

Leader reduces citizens' commute times by giving away their homes, foreign leaders' Twitcher accounts are monitored for potential threats to national security, the family summer vacation has become a thing of the past following the introduction of the year-round school year, and crocodile roadkill is smeared across the asphalt of the new Formula One track. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Italian Train's national animal is the Dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

The Italian Train is ranked 223,753^rd in the world and 7^th in The Nicmanian Empire for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 232.27 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
