The Dictatorship of Eclipsetin is a huge, orderly nation, ruled by Kamari Titan with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, zero percent divorce rate, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 907 million Eclipsetinians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Citadel. The average income tax rate is 67.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Eclipsetinian economy, worth 93.6 trillion guilders a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 103,203 guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The entire entry for Eclipsetin in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the World reads 'mostly harmless', hedge fund managers are diversifying into herbaceous borders, government-funded marriage counseling is showing very limited success, and tourists flock to see the giant stone carvings of historical leaders at Mount Rushless. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eclipsetin's national animal is the Blue whale, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Eclipsetin is ranked 68,322nd in the world and 794th in The Communist Bloc for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 3,192.02 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
