The Federation of Encharta is a huge, safe nation, notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 274 million Enchartans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Spirituality, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 53.3%.

The very strong Enchartan economy, worth 17.6 trillion Ruyns a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 64,284 Ruyns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

Maxtopian tourists make expensive pilgrimages to Encharta City to enjoy their national art, scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway, the new Grand Inquisitor of Righteous Scientific Inquiry has ordered a surprising amount of hemlock, and citizens are permitted to carry concealed handguns. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Encharta's national animal is the Solstice Bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Encharta is ranked 228,795^th in the world and 55^th in Enowiden for Most Corrupt Governments, with 1.03 kickbacks per hour.
