The Socialist Commonwealth of Eisentach is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Tom Fairweather with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, avant-garde cinema, and smutty television. The compassionate, cheerful population of 16.77 billion Eisentachians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rosenstadt. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Eisentachian economy, worth a remarkable 4,244 trillion labour vouchers 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 mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. Average income is an amazing 253,105 labour vouchers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Criminal rehabilitation takes place in re-education centers, one-man canoes fitted with the latest tracking technology leave no room for one man, old people living in plastic bubbles complain about a new type of social isolation, and the intelligence community is playing 4-D chess with an imaginary spy network. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eisentach's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Eisentach is ranked 230,914^th in the world and 55^th in The Social Liberal Union for Highest Drug Use, scoring 70.96 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
