The Dominion of Ehpakheseurhoo is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 5.456 billion Ehpakheseurhooans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 46.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Ehpakheseurhooan economy, worth 436 trillion Shiny Green Things 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. 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 80,090 Shiny Green Things, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

Sheepish teenagers are making eye contact with their parents for the first time in a decade during state-enforced 'no-phones hour', boats straying just metres away from the shore will raise the ire of the Coast Guard, there's a lot of mouth-breathers about these days, and East Lebatuckese astronauts' favorite game during downtime on the Multinational Space Station is 'I Spy'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ehpakheseurhoo's national animal is the Scorpion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Ehpakheseurhoo is ranked 81,344th in the world and 4,356th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 68.34 law-abiding acts per hour.
