The Republic of Ebja is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, anti-smoking policies, and ubiquitous missile silos. The devout population of 18.144 billion Ebjans 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Whalom. The average income tax rate is 68.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Ebjan economy, worth a remarkable 1,043 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 57,488 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Red Cross demand for body bags is rising while sutures go unused, school uniforms are compulsory, citizens are permitted to carry concealed handguns, and historical commemorations regularly devolve into militaristic jingoism. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ebja's national animal is the Bulldog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Saviouritism.

Ebja is ranked 67,104th in the world and 1st in Donnach IV for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 3,263.36 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
