The Most Serene Republic of East Endia is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, rampant corporate plagiarism, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, democratic population of 630 million East Endians 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, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Solarien. The average income tax rate is 86.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient East Endian economy, worth 64.3 trillion standards a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 101,989 standards, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The new Squirrel Supremacy Party is faring well in the polls, leading ethologists are being investigated for illegal electoral interference, all beauty contests have been banned, and school lockers are filled with fancy underwear. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. East Endia's national animal is the squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

East Endia is ranked 14,253^rd in the world and 316^th in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 9,472.06 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
