The Republic of Egg Engines is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its closed borders, public floggings, and parental licensing program. The cynical population of 2.128 billion Egg Enginesians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 25.6%.

The powerhouse Egg Enginesian economy, worth 206 trillion stardusts a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 97,074 stardusts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

The easiest method of escaping from prison is to take singing lessons, internet ads promising "hot singles in your area" are even less accurate than they used to be, pollution is on the rise along with government approvals of fracking projects, and the Holy Office of the Inquisition is the highest court in the land. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Egg Engines's national animal is the moonlark, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Egg Engines is ranked 143,497^th in the world and 1^st in Egg Engines for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 433.51 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
