The Coalition of Ithalian Empire is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Emperor Fredrick Von Bannderburg with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 19.77 billion Ithalians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Social Policy isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bannderburg. The average income tax rate is 85.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ithalian economy, worth a remarkable 2,743 trillion Ithalian Marks a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 138,795 Ithalian Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

There is something rotten in the state of Ithalian Empire, collisions between bicycles and carnival floats are on the rise, airplane passengers who purchase "basic economy" tickets are often assigned seats in the lavatory, and children are terrified that the 'flying police monster' will come to take them away in the night. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ithalian Empire's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The Founders.

Ithalian Empire is ranked 198,561st in the world and 8,714th in Lazarus for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 525.69 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
