The Free Federation of Escapitania is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by President-Prime Minister with an even hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, daily referendums, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, cheerful population of 12.781 billion Escapitanians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Freedomia Capital City. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Escapitanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,585 trillion marks a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 202,309 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Gossip magazines have pictures of President-Prime Minister sunbathing on the beach with political rivals, an IT mega-corporation has a patent pending on the rectangle, President-Prime Minister reduces citizens' commute times by giving away their homes, and The Pipe Bomb Makers' Pop-Up Book can be found in preschool libraries. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Escapitania's national animal is the Bald eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Escapitania is ranked 849^th in the world and 16^th in the West Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 104.01 average smiles per day.
