The Dominion of Eclipsus is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Governess Ravencroft with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.421 billion Eclipsians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eclipso. The average income tax rate is 75.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Eclipsian economy, worth 437 trillion Yuls a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 180,725 Yuls, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

There's an aura of pseudoscience around academia, using "inspect element" is grounds for espionage charges, more and more musicians are refusing to put labels on their sound, and most pop videos prominently feature the Eclipsian flag. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eclipsus's national animal is the Raven, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Atheism.

Eclipsus is ranked 192,920th in the world and 1st in Eclipsa for Largest Populations, with 2.42 billion capita.
