The Principality of The Mast Ita is a massive, cultured nation, notable for its infamous sell-swords, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.491 billion Mast Itans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Environment, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Turtle Town. The average income tax rate is 55.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Mast Itan economy, worth 85.2 trillion rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. Average income is 57,149 rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's leading climatologists are investigating animal flatulence in efforts to reduce methane emissions, bins outnumber trees in city parks, tourists visiting the nation are harangued for being capitalist pig-dogs, and criminals lock themselves in their mums' basements to avoid prison. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Mast Ita's national animal is the turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

The Mast Ita is ranked 17,765^th in the world and 305^th in the West Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 24.05 average smiles per day.
