The Empire of Eidechse is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Mojo I with an even hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 6.883 billion Eidechseans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vanya City. The average income tax rate is 80.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Eidechsean economy, worth 539 trillion Cornoes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 78,328 Cornoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Producers insist that movie stars wear crash helmets in every scene, extraordinary tribunals try accused financial criminals, Mojo I has promised 'power to the puppies', and manufacturers of biodegradable plastics have to wait for months to show evidence of organic decomposition. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eidechse's national animal is the Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is We Believe in Dancinha supremacy.

Eidechse is ranked 13,809^th in the world and 243^rd in the West Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,300.09 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
