The Democratic States of Ebenia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by the Chief Ambassador with an even hand, and notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cheerful population of 4.669 billion Ebenians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Welfare, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of DeLancie. The average income tax rate is 99.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Ebenian economy, worth 843 trillion Slades a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 180,555 Slades, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prime commercial land is being swamped with archaeological teams, CEOs can't hear the term 'Fire Sale' without bursting into tears, truancy is as easy as clicking a camera icon, and you don't need a smoking gun to arrest someone for promoting guns. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ebenia's national animal is the Anteater, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ebenia is ranked 2,422nd in the world and 32nd in The Leftist Assembly for Most Beautiful Environments, with 3,351.18 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
