The Toxic Green Wastelands of Egplanton is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Elro with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, lack of airports, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.999 billion Egplantonians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, although Spirituality is also considered important, while Welfare and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Egplanton City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.0%.

The powerhouse Egplantonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,072 trillion Golds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 134,019 Golds, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 762,406 per year while the poor average 11,468, a ratio of 66.5 to 1.

The jails are alive with the sound of birdsong, the government only announces the deaths of its members when it's convenient, the purgative quality of Egplantonian cuisine is known across the globe, and lonely people are supposed to be cheered up by the many parties that they are never invited to. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Egplanton's national animal is the Mutant, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Church of the Divine Leader.

Egplanton is ranked 191,012^th in the world and 8,325^th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 57.49 law-abiding acts per hour.
