The Slithering Wrath of Invading Ekans is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, disturbing lack of elderly people, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 10.03 billion Invading Ekansians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.9%.

The strong Invading Ekansian economy, worth 481 trillion kronor a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 48,026 kronor, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 156,731 per year while the poor average 11,070, a ratio of 14.2 to 1.

All beauty contests have been banned, schoolchildren are divided over Leader's "Why Tigers are Cooler than Lions" speech, citizens cannot change their light bulbs without approval from an international committee, and mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Invading Ekans's national animal is the emu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Invading Ekans is ranked 179,739^th in the world and 8^th in The Pokemon Region for Highest Average Incomes, with 48,026.83 Standard Monetary Units.
