The Second Republic of Ithra is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by President Kassandra Georgiou with a fair hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, free-roaming dinosaurs, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic population of 23.177 billion Ithrans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kallipolis. The average income tax rate is 78.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ithran economy, worth a remarkable 3,314 trillion drachmas 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 Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 142,994 drachmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government only invests in infrastructure after a natural disaster, Scoutmasters debate whether luxury log cabins defeat the purpose of camping, more money is spent on policing the welfare system for abuse than on the welfare system itself, and President Kassandra Georgiou's media campaigns take a hiatus around exam week. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ithra's national animal is the lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ithra is ranked 296,604^th in the world and 13^th in Confederacy of Allied States for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 20.38 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
