The Dominion of Eclipsus is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Governess Ravencroft with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, infamous sell-swords, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.054 billion Eclipsians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eclipso. The average income tax rate is 70.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Eclipsian economy, worth 348 trillion Yuls 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 slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, 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 impressive 169,909 Yuls, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Digital novelty coins make for surprising vanguards of the revolution, children wondering what happens to pets after they die are shown where the compost heap is, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, and parents tell their children 'what a lovely mistake you turned out to be'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eclipsus's national animal is the Raven, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Atheism.

Eclipsus is ranked 13,930^th in the world and 1^st in Eclipsa for Most Developed, scoring 88.54 on the Human Development Index.
