The Principality of Ezkio is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Hwan with an iron fist, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, aversion to nipples, and vat-grown people. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 12.322 billion Ezkians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Industry and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lilac Veritas. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Ezkioan economy, worth a remarkable 2,690 trillion ezkian reais a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 218,357 ezkian reais, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,694,675 per year while the poor average 7,314, a ratio of 231 to 1.

Sanitary products are sold in brown paper at hairdressers' salons, the government prefers to leave the past buried, air purifiers fight smoke machines on Ezkioan stage setups, and women mime their gynaecological symptoms with hand-puppets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Ezkio's national animal is the vulture, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Greed.

Ezkio is ranked 216,174th in the world and 176th in The Order of the Grey Wardens for Most Stationary, with 32.219771046 days.
