The Blue Holy Christmas Tree of Easing is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Santa with an even hand, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, absence of drug laws, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 14.685 billion Easingians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Industry, although Administration, Environment, and Education are also considered important, while Welfare and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of North Pole. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 59.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Easingian economy, worth a remarkable 2,528 trillion Gold Coins a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Trout Farming, Gambling, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 172,160 Gold Coins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 642,240 per year while the poor average 32,357, a ratio of 19.8 to 1.

Organised sports are frowned upon as frivolous, in the pink ghetto (on the cold and grey North Pole morn) women promise no child will be born, prison visits increase substantially during election years, and children can sing 'We Are the Champions' but can't spell it. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Easing's national animal is the Cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Yodlism.

Easing is ranked 18,045^th in the world and 7^th in Disney World for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 70,069.18 Standard Monetary Units.
