The Most Serene Republic of East Endia is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its daily referendums, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 647 million East Endians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Solarien. The average income tax rate is 86.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient East Endian economy, worth 66.7 trillion standards a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 103,123 standards, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Therapists dispense hugs for heroin dealers and cuddles for crackheads, the new 'Who Wants To Be A Politician' election debate auditions are more popular than the debates themselves, the nation is stuck in permanent election mode as politicians demand constant do-overs, and handling people's data is proving an immersive experience. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. East Endia's national animal is the squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

East Endia is ranked 283,335^th in the world and 5,237^th in the South Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -13.64 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
