The Dictatorship of Epistemoland is a very large, orderly nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, enforced nudity, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 219 million Epistemolandians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 53.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Epistemolandian economy, worth 10.8 trillion tokens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Soda Sales, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 49,114 tokens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Celebrities sit helplessly as they are labeled "pompous womples" by Leader, it is quite common for bar patrons to discuss Wittgenstein over cordials and games of backgammon, the decommissioned tank divisions of other nations are being bought up en masse by Epistemoland, and shorter foreigners are often forcibly deported on suspicion of working for the World Assembly. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Epistemoland's national animal is the lowland paca, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Epistemoland is ranked 85,393^rd in the world and 2^nd in Restoros for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 53.45 Effective Tax Rate.
