The Kingdom of Ejorike is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by King Maxim III with an iron fist, and notable for its public floggings, sprawling nuclear power plants, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 14.108 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry, Spirituality, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Welfare and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Great Royal Palace Garden. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Ejorikean economy, worth a remarkable 6,095 trillion silver sonns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Gambling. Average income is an amazing 432,070 silver sonns, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 4,044,416 per year while the poor average 3,919, a ratio of 1,031 to 1.

The nation's best artists are considered pretty easy to beat, sweet-toothed Ejorikeans have been left penniless by the VAT on candy, record sales of 'child-whacking sticks' have been reported, and apprentice builders get teased for wearing hard hats. Crime is a major problem, 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 69,023rd in the world and 11th in Krillin for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 3,964.42 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
