The High Athelingric of Eagiand is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Asher Wiley with an iron fist, and notable for its enslaved workforce, ritual sacrifices, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.857 billion Eagiandians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Osearwynn. The average income tax rate is 51.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Eagiandian economy, worth a remarkable 1,395 trillion pounds 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 large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 157,585 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The dictionary is a common first book for children, forest fires have dropped dramatically as there are hardly any forests left, in life full of care there is no time to stop and stare, and children are told they have to do well in school if they want to live. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eagiand's national animal is the snow leopard, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Adoptionism.

Eagiand is ranked 19,207^th in the world and 75^th in Snep for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 315.9 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
