The Dominion of Eclipsus is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Governess Ravencroft with an iron fist, and renowned for its smutty television, compulsory military service, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.46 billion Eclipsians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eclipso. The average income tax rate is 76.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Eclipsian economy, worth 451 trillion Yuls a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 183,664 Yuls, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Old folks reminisce about the last time someone was acquitted of a crime, being sent to collections is more dangerous than ever, one-man canoes fitted with the latest tracking technology leave no room for one man, and the only movement outdoors is of ramen-delivery drones. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eclipsus's national animal is the Raven, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Atheism.

Eclipsus is ranked 56,195th in the world and 1st in Eclipsa for Largest Black Market, with 11.5 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
