The Federal Republic of Epenratea is a titanic, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 23.544 billion Epenrateans 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 30.2%.

The strong Epenratean economy, worth a remarkable 1,112 trillion lire a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Woodchip Exports, and Trout Farming. Average income is 47,262 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Epenratea's national animal is the fulmar bird.

Epenratea is ranked 153,407^th in the world and 26^th in Land for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 30.25 Effective Tax Rate.
