The Grand Republic of Eprilonia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Prime Minister Vetts with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, devout population of 1.982 billion Eprilons have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of St Alicia. The average income tax rate is 58.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Eprilonian economy, worth 258 trillion Leazzes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Tourism, Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 130,248 Leazzes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

No one believes anything until it has been strenuously tested and peer-reviewed, reporters who negatively comment on politicians' haircuts are cut from the news, the government tries to improve relations with hostile countries by sending gift baskets, and the saying 'break a leg' is now taken literally. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eprilonia's national animal is the Eprilonian starred whale shark, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Eprilonian Orthodoxy.

Eprilonia is ranked 52,285^th in the world and 41^st in Union of Christian Nations for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 4,175.35 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
