The Technocratic Scientocracy of Engelhardenia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Principal Kilian Engelhard with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 10.544 billion Engelhardenians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jericho. The average income tax rate is 91.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Engelhardenian economy, worth a remarkable 1,596 trillion Euros 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 mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 151,439 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

High-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, children must be board certified to append "Jr" to their name, stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues, and nature reserves often contain artificial waterfalls and concrete paths. Crime is totally unknown. Engelhardenia's national animal is the Wolf Spider, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Engelhardenia is ranked 45,602nd in the world and 2,474th in Lazarus for Most Valuable International Artwork, with zero Bank.
