The Federal Republic of Eka is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by President Collins with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.375 billion Ekans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Coleka. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 30.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Ekan economy, worth 187 trillion Snillocs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 136,286 Snillocs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 411,939 per year while the poor average 35,107, a ratio of 11.7 to 1.

The nation leads Osiris in per capita stalking, movement-triggered sensors mean that for every door that closes another one opens, citizens are exhausted from weekly general elections, and corporate executives continue to enjoy generous tax benefits while the public is taxed to the hilt. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Eka's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Christianity.

Eka is ranked 22,966th in the world and 1,127th in Osiris for Most Developed, scoring 85.87 on the Human Development Index.
