The Federation of Evercest is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 255 million Evercestians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 23.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Evercestian economy, worth 22.2 trillion Everecs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 87,158 Everecs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Evercest has designated Evercest City as its capital city, the government has put a kid glove on the invisible hand of the free market, artists from across the nation compete to renovate the restrooms of old government buildings, and many whiskies taste suspiciously like automobile radiators. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Evercest's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Evercest is ranked 29,665^th in the world and 84^th in The Kodiak Republic for Highest Food Quality, scoring 69.15 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
