The United Equatorial Federation of Ekopia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Delkón Karụloda Fidágo Hakóso Nagar with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, infamous sell-swords, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 2.871 billion Ekopes are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hekopol. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Ekopese economy, worth 629 trillion Ekopese Francs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 219,280 Ekopese Francs, with the richest citizens earning 7.7 times as much as the poorest.

The sudden rash of anti-drug laws has left everyone dazed and confused, pilots always remember to send their doctors a Maxxmas card, citizens are frequently held up at gunpoint by their local pizza delivery boys, and thieves are flogged in public for their crimes. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. 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 72,561^st in the world and 136^th in Christians for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,420.43 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
