The Empire of Ebonnium is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Emperor Zenoth with an iron fist, and notable for its parental licensing program, ritual sacrifices, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 20.603 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 24.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ebonniumian economy, worth a remarkable 3,106 trillion Ebon Dollors a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 150,768 Ebon Dollors, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Barbed wire entanglements and guard towers surround the Stormlight Natural History Museum, it is illegal for a parent to tell a child to stop eating their boogers, sleep-deprived officials are known to collapse after late night revision for their examinations, and the government is a proud sponsor of the National Gaming Association. 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 41,735^th in the world and 93^rd in United Kingdom for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 721.2 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
