The Republic of Ebadon is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Great Land Shark with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, prohibition of alcohol, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, humorless population of 14.511 billion Ebadonians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Silver City. The average income tax rate is 92.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ebadonian economy, worth a remarkable 2,435 trillion Coconuts a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 167,866 Coconuts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Unpackaged foodstuffs rot on store shelves, the latest electric jet fighter has almost enough battery charge to reach cruising altitude -- provided you don't use the radar, schools have extensive counseling programs for troubled students, and the volume of paperwork used to complete a single environmental assessment defeats the purpose. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ebadon's national animal is the Stingray, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Emo Kabatat.

Ebadon is ranked 290,281st in the world and 561st in The grimy backyard of Bigej for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -10.45 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
