The Liberal Utopia of Itsebed is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by the Unnamed One with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and smutty television. The compassionate population of 1.636 billion Itsebeds are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 79.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Itsebedian economy, worth 61.5 trillion Rupiae Moscoviaes a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Soda Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 37,571 Rupiae Moscoviaes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Skateparks can be found in every city, snow in a furnace is a better long-term investment than Rupiae Moscoviaes, the army lures cannon fodder with promises of a college education, and traveller camps regularly block five-lane superhighways. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Itsebed's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Itsebed is ranked 216,685^th in the world and 420^th in Europe for Fattest Citizens, with 8.9 Obesity Rate.
