The Holy Republic of Ephdecania is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate population of 211 million enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 60%, and even higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

There's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt, people are now classified as male, female, or genderqueer, genetic researchers have been expelled, and pharmacies close down as medicinal drugs are sold freely by the government. Crime is well under control. Ephdecania's national animal is the chicken, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Fuedueki.
