“Whooooooooooooo! Peace!”

The Hippie-Communist Empire of Eel Cezno is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Bob with an even hand, and remarkable for its happy-go-lucky citizens. Its compassionate population of 14.939 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is effectively ruled by the Department of Social Welfare, with areas such as Commerce and Defence receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eel Cezno City. The average income tax rate is 100%. 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.

Houses and businesses are bulldozed to make way for ever-expanding cemeteries, all footpaths have tollbooths, the police have reaffirmed their tough stance on drugs, and bicyclists are banned from major roads. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eel Cezno's national animal is the hamster, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the pound.

Eel Cezno is ranked 191st in the region and 55,348th in the world for Largest Basket Weaving Sector.
