The Federal Republic of Eustat is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President with a fair hand, and notable for its smutty television, unlimited-speed roads, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 2.519 billion Eustatians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Orange City. The average income tax rate is 29.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Eustatian economy, worth 304 trillion Sints a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Retail, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 120,868 Sints, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Colonies are told they'll get their sovereignty back when they finish supper, politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income, real power lies not in the debating room but with those who decide what is debated, and loudmouthed journalists are given the chop. Crime is totally unknown. Eustat's national animal is the Green Turtle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Eustat is ranked 126,923^rd in the world and 5,648^th in Lazarus for Most Corrupt Governments, with 7.45 kickbacks per hour.
