The Commonwealth of Eclipseland is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by The Supreme Council of Eclipseland with a fair hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, ban on automobiles, and irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 1.65 billion Eclipselandians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Carbondale. The average income tax rate is 32.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Eclipselandian economy, worth 148 trillion Coronas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 90,108 Coronas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cults that offer eternal life after death to those who follow a self-sacrificing saviour are frowned upon, the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly, victims of crime are viewed as less trustworthy than politicians, and people seem disproportionately distraught when told a museum has a phones-off policy. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eclipseland's national animal is the Owl, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Eclipseworship.

Eclipseland is ranked 98,173^rd in the world and 672^nd in the West Pacific for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 2,603.55 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
