The United Regions of Ekriba is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Prime Minister Benoît Dubois with a fair hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, zero percent divorce rate, and frequent executions. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 4.646 billion Ekribans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Seyteles. The average income tax rate is 14.2%.

The very strong Ekriban economy, worth 383 trillion Ekriban Estelás a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 82,462 Ekriban Estelás, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Imitation is the sincerest form of felony, estate agents justify funky smells by revealing how often the previous owners showered, foreign policy is to avoid standing up to bullies, and defense lawyers often argue there's no proof murder victims weren't vampires. Crime is almost non-existent. Ekriba's national animal is the Ekri Eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Ekriba is ranked 53,232^nd in the world and 69^th in Commonwealth of Sovereign States for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 5,023.31 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
