The People's Republic of Egypitishia is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 494 million Egypitishians 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 46.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Egypitishian economy, worth 24.8 trillion deniers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 50,198 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

There is something rotten in the state of Egypitishia, business owners return from long vacations to find their factories have been turned into homeless shelters, the Egypitishian basket weaving sector is on the brink of collapse as cheap imports flood the market, and the legislature keeps promising "more study" of corruption allegations against the parliamentary whip system. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Egypitishia's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Egypitishia is ranked 31,464^th in the world and 1,728^th in Osiris for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 52.44 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
