The Kingdom of Italian Union of Controlled States is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, cynical population of 695 million Italians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Roma. The average income tax rate is 42.3%.

The thriving Italian economy, worth 41.5 trillion Lire a year, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 59,685 Lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

The 'Museum Of Stuff We Stole' is a tourist favourite, bread-gangs raid restaurant waste bins to stockpile uneaten rolls, Pinkerton agents are called in to forcibly break up white collar strikes, and Italian Union of Controlled States has designated Roma as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Italian Union of Controlled States's national animal is the Apennine Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Italian Union of Controlled States is ranked 70,313^th in the world and 2^nd in Union Of Dictators and Emperors for Most Beautiful Environments, with 604.77 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
