The Republic of Ebglend is a very large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, ban on automobiles, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic, devout population of 189 million Ebglendians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Environment, and Education. The average income tax rate is 15.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Ebglendian economy, worth 10.0 trillion EBGS a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 52,964 EBGS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

There have been sightings of people walking around dressed in nothing but leopard-skin g-strings for 'religious reasons', government employees have reverted to carrier pigeon due to never-ending virus scans, the nation has an international reputation for compassion, and guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Ebglend's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ebglend is ranked 194,296^th in the world and 185^th in Declansburg for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -2 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
