The United Socialist States of Eastknam is a massive, safe nation, ruled by bird with a fair hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, sprawling nuclear power plants, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 4.638 billion Eastknamians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Calaborne. The average income tax rate is 96.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Eastknamian economy, worth 805 trillion Kasas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 173,574 Kasas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The weather report is the prisoners' favourite programme, wildlife near farms is slowly becoming extinct, the Museum of Blackacrean War Crimes is located on "Blackacre Did Nothing Wrong Avenue", and babies are a small but significant export. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eastknam's national animal is the Nemboria, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Ashraism.

Eastknam is ranked 6,116^th in the world and 9^th in Nordic Lands for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 13,913.28 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
