The Confederacy of Ekster is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, notable for its absence of drug laws and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 6.982 billion Eksterians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, with Welfare, Healthcare, and Public Transport also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.3%.

The strong Eksterian economy, worth 313 trillion lire a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Cheese Exports, and Retail. Average income is 44,913 lire, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 289,469 per year while the poor average 2,815, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Ekster's national animal is the magpie, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Ekster is ranked 303,558^th in the world and 2^nd in communist brotherhood for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -4.47 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
