The United Equatorial Federation of Ekopia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Delkón Karụloda Fidágo Hakóso Nagar with an even hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, digital currency, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 2.722 billion Ekopes are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hekopol. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Ekopese economy, worth 580 trillion Ekopese Francs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 213,310 Ekopese Francs, with the richest citizens earning 9.0 times as much as the poorest.

People are offered free trials to go to trial, on-duty Air Ekopia flight attendants are usually seen napping in first class, tourists avoid using the nation's bugged phones and monitored internet, and the SWAT team always rings twice. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Ekopia's national animal is the Rhinoceros, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Ekopic Orthodox Christian Church.

Ekopia is ranked 23,109^th in the world and 66^th in Christians for Most Developed, scoring 85.82 on the Human Development Index.
