The Republic of Eponia is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by President Brenda Milton with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, keen interest in outer space, and smutty television. The compassionate, devout population of 17.454 billion Eponians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Estrigina. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Eponian economy, worth a remarkable 2,117 trillion Coroas a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 121,303 Coroas, with the richest citizens earning 6.1 times as much as the poorest.

Government negotiators never forget to say "pretty please" when begging for custody of its criminals, the government seizes corporate assets it deems 'scary enough', former polygamists always seem to have a huge number of visiting cousins, and families make most of their annual income from government benefits. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eponia's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Eponia is ranked 22,765^th in the world and 11^th in Catholic for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 7,743.87 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
