The Federative Empire of Endows is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Mark Ozerov with an iron fist, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 3.503 billion Endowsians 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sapes. The average income tax rate is 76.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Endowsian economy, worth 197 trillion rubles a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 56,328 rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The average cargo freighter spends more than half its service life undergoing safety inspections, politicians have to be granted day-release from prison to speak on bills, schoolchildren must pass a six-month Ethics and Safety Committee Assessment before they are allowed to mix baking soda and vinegar, and graverobbers claim they're acting within the interest of 'scientific preservation'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Endows's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Orthodox Christianity.

Endows is ranked 11,580^th in the world and 14^th in Union of Christian Nations for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 1,667.08 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
