The New Empire of Ezaekia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Kueshango Ghji with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 8.158 billion Ezaekians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Charryzavesh. The average income tax rate is 92.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ezaekian economy, worth a remarkable 1,165 trillion Veshkts a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 142,845 Veshkts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's laws on image rights are amongst the strictest in the world, gift baskets often contain working nukes, old fossils give the tours at the parliamentary museum, and cloning has been banned. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ezaekia's national animal is the Tarnaky, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Ezaekia is ranked 23,154^th in the world and 1,117^th in Lazarus for Most Valuable International Artwork, with zero Bank.
