The People's Republic of Eian is a tiny, safe nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, public floggings, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 10 million Eianians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 72.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The fragile Eianian economy, worth 259 billion ryous a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Trout Farming, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 25,931 ryous, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Kindergarten teachers with ankle-bracelets are closely supervised by their parole officers, the reams of paperwork accompanying any electronic item are a recognised contributor to national deforestation, the nation's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas, and drones are unable to lift the weight of their accompanying paperwork. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eian's national animal is the phoenix.

Eian is ranked 128,037^th in the world and 357^th in The Leftist Assembly for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 1,863.35 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
