The Federal Republic of Itarica is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Caetano Sila with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, barren, inhospitable landscape, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 6.293 billion Itaricans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Roma. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 38.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Itarican economy, worth 901 trillion ₳ Aureos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 143,287 ₳ Aureos, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 634,830 per year while the poor average 20,198, a ratio of 31.4 to 1.

Exploding toys that leak battery acid are back in the shops after the government declared child safety 'over-rated', the path to inner peace is paved with state-mandated punishment, the nation's ballot sheets often contain ten-thousand word manifestos for each party, and condos feature wall-mounted cages containing endangered animals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Itarica's national animal is the Itarican wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Itarica is ranked 96,042^nd in the world and 5^th in Asamblea del Orbe for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 982.38 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
