The Republic of Eclypsar is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 25.687 billion Eclypsarians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government prioritizes Law & Order, with Industry, Healthcare, and Education also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 52.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Eclypsarian economy, worth 866 trillion florins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 33,752 florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eclypsar's national animal is the night owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Eclypsar is ranked 264,824^th in the world and 3^rd in Eclipse for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.77 kickbacks per hour.
