The United Socialist States of Ekreli is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Tungaskt Finker with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, cheerful population of 3.381 billion Ekrelians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ogsfan. The average income tax rate is 98.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Ekrelian economy, worth 672 trillion Profels 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 Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 198,852 Profels, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Finance Ministry posts hourly updates on where taxpayer money is spent, celestial bodies that make revolutions receive revolutions, the poor are often seen pale and dizzy after selling their blood to make ends meet, and SOS from foreign ships mean "shoot on sight". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ekreli's national animal is the Leech, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is State Atheism.

Ekreli is ranked 1,258^th in the world and 15^th in Europeia for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 130.1 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
