The Sovereign Republic of Ekumi is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Frederick Pullman with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 3.945 billion Ekumen have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Industry, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ekumikity. The average income tax rate is 87.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Ekumian economy, worth a remarkable 1,012 trillion Ekubals a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 256,536 Ekubals, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

The nation leads Mappy nerds in per capita stalking, the government is coughing up funds for lung cancer victims, the only soporific permitted during sermons is the preacher's voice, and the ongoing space elevator construction project has elevated the national debt to all new levels. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ekumi's national animal is the Emu, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Ekumi is ranked 49,463^rd in the world and 5^th in Mappy nerds for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,894.17 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
