The Empire of Ever Testing is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Smog Wawelski with an iron fist, and notable for its digital currency, infamous sell-swords, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 5.363 billion Ever Testians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Industry, with Education, Environment, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wawel. The average income tax rate is 69.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ever Testingian economy, worth a remarkable 1,361 trillion obwarzaneks a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Trout Farming. Average income is an amazing 253,780 obwarzaneks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Super Barry Brothers is the most popular video game in the nation, new mothers can pay for their weekly grocery shop with a bottle of breast milk, the government is suspected of mass disappearing dissidents both at home and abroad, and an enfeebled opposition party spends most of its time simply trying to stay on the ballot. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Ever Testing's national animal is the lagun, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Church of Mighty Yeast.

Ever Testing is ranked 6,266^th in the world and 158^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 507.29 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
