The Empire of Ebonnium is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Emperor Zenoth with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 21.663 billion Ebonniumians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stormlight. The average income tax rate is 36.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ebonniumian economy, worth a remarkable 3,082 trillion Ebon Taelers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 142,291 Ebon Taelers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government officials raid public buildings to remove all mention of G*d or r******n, monocled merchants with funny accents are applying for Ebonniumian citizenship in droves, customer satisfaction with online delivery services is at an all time high, and older ladies are inundated with offers to help them cross the road. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ebonnium's national animal is the Blackhorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Any and All Religions.

Ebonnium is ranked 291,575th in the world and 288th in United Kingdom for Most Ignorant Citizens, with 1.09 missed references per hour.
