The Republic of Egg Engines is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, national health service, and strictly enforced bedtime. The cynical population of 2.257 billion Egg Enginesians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 30.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Egg Enginesian economy, worth 227 trillion stardusts a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 100,784 stardusts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Strict term limits have been applied to all elected offices, the saying 'break a leg' is now taken literally, military parades quietly tiptoe their way through the streets, and any citizen who cries is immediately assigned a psychiatrist. 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 211,380^th in the world and 1^st in Egg Engines for Highest Drug Use, scoring 88.09 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
