The Socialist Republic of Itilien is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by High Council of the Socialist Republic with a fair hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.635 billion Itiliens are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Isgilif. The average income tax rate is 93.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Itilienen economy, worth 301 trillion casters a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 114,383 casters, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Wilderness-dwelling hermits are surprised to find railway stations on their front doorsteps, unemployed judges can be found squatting in abandoned courthouses, High Council of the Socialist Republic is strangely popular with male politicians' wives, and the words 'private' and 'enterprise' must never appear in the same sentence. Crime is totally unknown. Itilien's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Itilien is ranked 248,688^th in the world and 1,556^th in The Communist Bloc for Highest Crime Rates, with 1.95 crimes per hour.
