The Federation of Eyeriax is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The L-5 with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.43 billion Eyeriaxans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Santiago da Eyeriax. The average income tax rate is 78.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Eyeriaxan economy, worth 391 trillion marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 114,141 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

More than one company makes the board game Monopoly, the thin blue line is composed of picketing police officers demanding better pensions, diplomatic fallout tends to be much more dangerous than radioactive fallout, and most ambassadors from Eyeriax retire only a few years after being appointed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eyeriax's national animal is the panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is None.

Eyeriax is ranked 31,861^st in the world and 394^th in the West Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 210.83 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
