The Protector of the Herd of Eikthyrdeer is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, lack of airports, and compulsory military service. The hard-working, devout population of 4.41 billion Eikthyrdeerians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 57.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Eikthyrdeerian economy, worth 371 trillion marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 84,129 marks, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

Invasive drug testing is now performed at elementary school sports days, Eikthyrdeer City consists only of government buildings and the mansions of government janitors, virtual assistants are seen with increasing suspicion every time they get an upgrade, and universities now offer degrees in cycling etiquette. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eikthyrdeer's national animal is the unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Eikthyrdeer is ranked 121,961^st in the world and 1^st in Old Zealand for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,713.21 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
