The Democratic States of Ebenia is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by the Chief Ambassador with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, compulsory military service, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 9.775 billion Ebenians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of DeLancie. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Ebenian economy, worth a remarkable 2,236 trillion Slades a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 228,801 Slades, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government bureaucrats review designs for birdhouses to ensure they do not block the views of neighbors, selfie stick use is a required Scout badge, the nation's space program is doxxing the planet, and family isn't who you're born with but who you abandon in foreign countries. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ebenia's national animal is the Anteater, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ebenia is ranked 442^nd in the world and 6^th in The Leftist Assembly for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 20,525.76 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
