The Incorporated States of The Ecstatic Empire is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Sovereign Incognito with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.503 billion Ecstaticians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Education, although Environment, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elation. The average income tax rate is 39.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ecstatic Empirean economy, worth 193 trillion Glees a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, Trout Farming, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 128,849 Glees, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sovereign Incognito's office has a newly installed Max-Man arcade game programmed by a 5th-grader, veterans are directed into environmental cleanup operations, hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock", and the future is monochrome. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The Ecstatic Empire's national animal is the Eastern Grey Squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Ecstatic Empire is ranked 20,172^nd in the world and 84^th in Starlight for Most Cultured, scoring 88 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
