The Socialist Empire of The EOZ is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Zaktan with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 27.751 billion Skakdis are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zakaz. The average income tax rate is 99.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Skakdi economy, worth a remarkable 5,574 trillion Delfaks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 200,875 Delfaks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Dog breeding has been banned in accordance with recent animal experimentation laws, dictators have dubbed The EOZ the land of lunatics, preschoolers outnumber veteran politicians in government, and worship days have replaced sick days. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The EOZ's national animal is the Piraka, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The EOZ is ranked 2,465^th in the world and 86^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 105.81 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
