The Screaming Ediface of Ebon Citadel is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Emeshkyral the Incarnate with an even hand, and notable for its parental licensing program, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 17.315 billion Ichorescent Agonarches are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The minute, socially-minded government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Education, with Administration, Healthcare, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Seeping Vallation. Income tax is unheard of.

The enormous but underdeveloped Comsogyral economy, worth a remarkable 1,714 trillion Ichorous Kilderkins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is 99,014 Ichorous Kilderkins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Enterprising game developers are a hop, skip, and a double-jump away from arrest, a blood-red mark on the doorframe means a building must be passed over for destruction, flight attendants rip down curtains with revolutionary fervor, and the national anthem is a rather effective sleeping aid. Crime is totally unknown. Ebon Citadel's national animal is the Haematic Helminth, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is ␀.

Ebon Citadel is ranked 88^th in the world and 1^st in The Dour Isthmus for Most Beautiful Environments, with 11,573.24 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
