The People's Republic of Eian is a tiny, genial nation, notable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate population of 18 million Eianians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 73.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The developing Eianian economy, worth 607 billion ryous 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 dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Trout Farming, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 33,736 ryous, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

'Totally Not Partisan News' is a line item on the government budget, the latest guided missile cruiser "Ship-1642" has received precisely zero column inches in the press, victims of crime are viewed as less trustworthy than politicians, and Eianian military drills look more like joint-The Leftist Assembly exercises than anything else. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eian's national animal is the phoenix.

Eian is ranked 111,921^st in the world and 617^th in The Leftist Assembly for Least Corrupt Governments, with 93.24 percentage of bribes refused.
