The Kingdom of Ejorike is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by King Maxim III with an iron fist, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, public floggings, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 12.371 billion Ejorikeans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry and Spirituality are also considered important, while Welfare and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Royal Funland. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Ejorikean economy, worth a remarkable 5,071 trillion silver sonns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 409,919 silver sonns, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,835,106 per year while the poor average 3,743, a ratio of 1,024 to 1.

Disadvantaged neighbourhoods have become no-go areas after sundown, prisoners fit in their parole hearings around their spa treatments, Animal Liberationists are regularly arrested, and actively encouraging climate change is helping reduce winter fuel costs. Crime is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Ejorike's national animal is the lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Christianity.

Ejorike is ranked 292,662nd in the world and 32nd in Krillin for Lowest Crime Rates, with 5.88 law-abiding acts per hour.
