The State of EZ is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and renowned for its absence of drug laws, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 20.806 billion EZians 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 minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, although Education is also considered important, while Welfare and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.7%.

The very strong EZian economy, worth 713 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 34,308 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 233,258 per year while the poor average 1,843, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, EZ has designated Westminster as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of EZ in an international press conference. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. EZ's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

EZ is ranked 101,541st in the world and 111th in Omega Prime for Most Beautiful Environments, with 563.46 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
