The Republic of The Italian Social Federation is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.34 billion Italian Social Federationians 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, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 82.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Italian Social Federationian economy, worth 645 trillion Lire 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 Tourism, Pizza Delivery, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 101,853 Lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

White strait-jackets are the new orange jumpsuits, it takes months to get the proper permits for a child's first tricycle, the digital money revolution has cashed out, and there's never a spare chair in the retirement home. Crime is totally unknown. The Italian Social Federation's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Italian Social Federation is ranked 285,935^th in the world and 10,925^th in Balder for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -15.55 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
