The Grand Duchy of Enkowshe is a titanic, cultured nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 13.377 billion Enkowsheans 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 73.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Enkowshean economy, worth a remarkable 1,410 trillion woolies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 105,437 woolies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The bonfire of the old paper records can be seen for miles around Enkowshe City, political scientists despair as the national mascot election eclipses all others in voter enthusiasm, military strategists are questioning the wisdom of subsidizing the economies of sworn enemies, and signs of extraterrestrial life are just foreign astronauts evading Enkowshean justice. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Enkowshe's national animal is the moo-cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Enkowshe is ranked 6,074^th in the world and 340^th in Lazarus for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 5,856.22 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
