The Most Serene Republic of East Endia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by President Aaron Kumar with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 1.89 billion East Endians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Solarien. The average income tax rate is 96.0%.

The frighteningly efficient East Endian economy, worth 281 trillion standards a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 148,934 standards, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The needs of the living outweigh the needs of the dead, mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field, the seventh son of a seventh son is fated to be a millionaire, and sleep-deprived officials are known to collapse after late night revision for their examinations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. East Endia's national animal is the squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

East Endia is ranked 301,604^th in the world and 4,931^st in the South Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 5,957.36 Standard Monetary Units.
