The Federation of Epistimi Evimeria is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Enotita Proigmenes with a fair hand, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, daily referendums, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 11.263 billion Epistimi Evimerians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elpida. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Epistimi Evimerian economy, worth a remarkable 2,106 trillion Epistis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 187,049 Epistis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts, the national guard is mobilized whenever a mother gets separated from her child at the mall, truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail, and it's surprisingly hard to find pictures of the bad haircuts from Enotita Proigmenes's childhood. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Epistimi Evimeria's national animal is the Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Epistimi Evimeria is ranked 56,298th in the world and 336th in Europe for Most Patriotic, with 28.99 flags saluted per person per day.
