The Incorporated States of The Italian Stallion is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its parental licensing program, free-roaming dinosaurs, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 7.916 billion Italian Stallionians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 40.7%.
The powerhouse Italian Stallionian economy, worth 629 trillion Frattastans a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 79,537 Frattastans, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.
The new Liquor Legitimacy Office is besieged with job applications from people who have experience in "statistical sampling methods", Maxtopian tourists make expensive pilgrimages to The Italian Stallion City to enjoy their national art, commemoration of the Great Balder War costs almost as much as the war itself, and legislators toe the party line lest the Sergeant-at-Arms decide to conduct "truncheon practice" on the backbench. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Italian Stallion's national animal is the Fratty, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
The Italian Stallion is ranked 22,768th in the world and 1,013th in Balder for Highest Economic Output, with 629 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
