The Federation of Equaniness is a tiny, genial nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate population of 10 million Equaninessians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 43.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The struggling Equaninessian economy, worth 228 billion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is 22,788 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Shopkeepers use microscopes to verify the authenticity of banknotes, all industry is owned and run by the government, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and preschoolers practice disarming active shooters before naptime. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Equaniness's national animal is the leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Equaniness is ranked 317,469^th in the world and 3,960^th in The East Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 45.92 on the Human Development Index.
