The Technocratic Scientocracy of Engelhardenia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Principal Kilian Engelhard with an even hand, and notable for its soft-spoken computers, unlimited-speed roads, and digital currency. The compassionate population of 10.504 billion Engelhardenians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jericho. The average income tax rate is 90.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Engelhardenian economy, worth a remarkable 1,589 trillion Euros 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 mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 151,361 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

High-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, children must be board certified to append "Jr" to their name, stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues, and nature reserves often contain artificial waterfalls and concrete paths. Crime is totally unknown. Engelhardenia's national animal is the Wolf Spider, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Engelhardenia is ranked 22,003rd in the world and 1,582nd in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 88.11 law-abiding acts per hour.
