The Borderlands of Itre is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its smutty television, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 11.855 billion Itreans 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 government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 92.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Itrean economy, worth a remarkable 1,434 trillion bitcoins a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 121,000 bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Films are funded in accordance with the volume of tears shed when reading the screenplay, reams of paperwork signed in triplicate have taken the magic out of magic, the government is washing its hands of alleged corruption, and political visitors are forced to stop ten paces from Leader's throne. Crime is totally unknown. Itre's national animal is the panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Itre is ranked 23,546^th in the world and 1,605^th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 86.99 law-abiding acts per hour.
