The Lunar Covenant of Itzlan is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by First Admiral Aslan with an iron fist, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 27.12 billion Itzlani are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Spirituality, and Administration also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eclipse Harbor. The average income tax rate is 4.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Itzlanian economy, worth a remarkable 9,146 trillion Silver Foxes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 337,274 Silver Foxes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Visions of giant pink Itzlanian Grey Foxes are a common side effect after Itzlani eat their meals, anyone with an emergency on a holy day is advised to pray harder, a glyph of First Admiral Aslan is worth a thousand letters, and children high on sugar can often be seen bouncing off walls. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Itzlan's national animal is the Itzlanian Grey Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Lunar Cult.

Itzlan is ranked 225,331st in the world and 11th in Renegade Islands Alliance for Fattest Citizens, with 8.54 Obesity Rate.
