The Praesens Imperio Glorioso of EctoVoid is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Ille Qui Dominatur in Praesenti with an even hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, otherworldly petting zoo, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, humorless population of 5.286 billion Praesentians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Civitas Qui Praesentes. The average income tax rate is 90.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Voidan economy, worth 949 trillion Ectoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 179,538 Ectoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Women who walk into the ladies' changing room are accused of being Peeping Toms, the inchworm that measured the marigolds is six feet under, people can't decide between preserving forests and buying print copies of 'Dogman Versus The Giggler', and civil engineers are undermining sinkholes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. EctoVoid's national animal is the Plasma, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Qui Praesentes.

EctoVoid is ranked 136,255^th in the world and 158^th in 10000 Islands for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 730.38 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
