The Republic of the Revolution of Engalin is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Premier Édouard Babeuf with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, daily referendums, and compulsory vegetarianism. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.961 billion Engalians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Revolution City. The average income tax rate is 88.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Engalian economy, worth 270 trillion Evripin Crowns 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 mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 91,467 Evripin Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation is currently revamping its entire education system, any citizen who cries is immediately assigned a psychiatrist, remote-control hang-gliding scarecrows patrol the skies to keep songbirds from leaving the nation's borders, and graffiti graces every city's streets. Crime is totally unknown. Engalin's national animal is the Pigeon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The Cult of Reason.

Engalin is ranked 33,050^th in the world and 269^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 238.05 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
