The United Equatorial Federation of Ekopia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Delkón Karụloda Fidágo Hakóso Nagar with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 2.392 billion Ekopes are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hekopol. The average income tax rate is 28.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Ekopese economy, worth 566 trillion Ekopese Francs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 236,818 Ekopese Francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Public spending advocates dread when the government says they're here to help, neighboring nations are tired of Ekopia's big fish stories, signs stating "You Must be This Tall to Enter" have started appearing outside retirement homes, and women who display their ankles are shunned by society. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Ekopia's national animal is the Rhinoceros, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Ekopic Orthodox Christian Church.

Ekopia is ranked 121,998^th in the world and 171^st in Christians for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 4.16 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
