The Democratic Republic of Eburia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Jos Van Eyck with an iron fist, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.336 billion Eburians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Keidir. The average income tax rate is 82.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Eburian economy, worth 108 trillion Euros a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 80,874 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Veteran cops reminisce over their heavy armor days, corporations claim the third ounce of any metal traded in a wicker-cone on the Sunday of a full moon as a charitable expense, scientists recently cloned the long-extinct feather-bellied Hond, and pollution is on the rise along with government approvals of fracking projects. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eburia's national animal is the Hond, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christendom.

Eburia is ranked 9,939^th in the world and 180^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 55.65 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
