The Commonwealth of The Eternal December is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Santana with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 11.073 billion Eternal Decemberians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny government prioritizes Industry, with Administration, Healthcare, and Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Factorial. The average income tax rate is 4.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Eternal Decemberian economy, worth a remarkable 1,383 trillion Chips a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Average income is an impressive 124,953 Chips, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Drive-by spoilers are an increasingly common crime, teenagers performing appendectomies on their friends has become a popular schoolyard prank, tax-payers are funding ever more extravagant movie projects, and police detectives carry phrenology calipers as part of their standard kit. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Eternal December's national animal is the Buck, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

The Eternal December is ranked 265,369^th in the world and 10,733^rd in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 41.21 law-abiding acts per hour.
