The Kingdom of Efectivstan is a colossal, cultured nation, renowned for its digital currency, keen interest in outer space, and compulsory military service. The compassionate population of 4.023 billion Efectivstanians, 3.827 billion of whom are zombies, have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Environment, and Welfare are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Turing. The average income tax rate is 92.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Efectivstanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,608 trillion booleans a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 94,402 booleans, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

In the mighty jungle the lion once again sleeps tonight, government solves problems by tossing money at the nearest geek, the installation of street lights across remote goat tracks has left citizens bemused, and sleeping on the job is recommended. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Efectivstan's national animal is the crocodile, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Efectivstan is ranked 5,082^nd in the world and 282^nd in Osiris for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 2,497.85 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
