The Bannorn of Ithika is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Bann Tesal vos Ulixes with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 11.232 billion Ithikans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social and economic equality; they tend to view other countries as corrupted by the hollow pageantry of sham elections.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Olytteus. The average income tax rate is 39.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Ithikan economy, worth 424 trillion kamas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 37,768 kamas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens are more concerned about voting for Big Brother contestants than politicians, ice-filled coffins are ominously positioned in the corner of every hospital ward, defense lawyers often argue there's no proof murder victims weren't vampires, and older ladies are inundated with offers to help them cross the road. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Ithika's national animal is the wolf and its national religion is Maumiqism.

Ithika is ranked 169,729^th in the world and 2^nd in Leningrad Airfield for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 332.46 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
