The Empire of Egbertt is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Egbert the Egregious with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, lack of airports, and compulsory vegetarianism. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.106 billion Egberttians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ruhmstadt. The average income tax rate is 90.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Egberttian economy, worth a remarkable 1,415 trillion Guilders a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 155,454 Guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Government officials say that if you close your eyes and wish really hard the budget deficit will go away, genetic screening weeds out citizens whose legs don't bend easily at the knee, children often kick Black Dragons for amusement, and they who do not work shall not eat. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Egbertt's national animal is the Black Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Egbertiasm.

Egbertt is ranked 286,639^th in the world and 20^th in Wisconsin for Highest Food Quality, scoring 4.38 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
