The Republic of Einsteinium is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 9.229 billion Einsteiniumians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Reading. The average income tax rate is 27.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Einsteiniumian economy, worth 338 trillion bitcoins a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 36,703 bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Education is transforming people into first-rate snobs, the realistic depiction of tentacles is on the core syllabus of most art schools, shelters struggle to keep up with the endless intake of stray animals, and the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Einsteinium's national animal is the kiwi, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Einsteinium is ranked 276,627^th in the world and 8^th in Elements for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -8.36 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
