The Holy Empire of Evortebum is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 287 million Evortebumians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 70.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Evortebumian economy, worth 5.13 trillion guilders 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 led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 17,859 guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Evortebum's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Evortebum is ranked 58,323^rd in the world and 123^rd in Talonia for Safest, scoring 99.59 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
