The Confederal Commonwealth of Ebenstan is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Labor Aristocracy with an iron fist, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, compulsory military service, and soft-spoken computers. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.044 billion Ebenstanis 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 juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Roulettegrad. The average income tax rate is 57.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ebenstani economy, worth 420 trillion Ebenstani dinars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 205,616 Ebenstani dinars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The government is reining in public spending, even the nation's brussel sprouts are delicious and nutritious, mathematicians are gathering an infinite number of seals and typewriters to see if they can recreate the works of Max Barry, and cinemas play art-house movies to ever-shrinking audiences as film critics rule the industry. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Ebenstan's national animal is the seal, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ebenstan is ranked 10,152^nd in the world and 5^th in Furry Hangout for Highest Poor Incomes, with 124,119.92 Standard Monetary Units.
