Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Allied States of Eidolonis is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Harken Silvermoon with a fair hand, and remarkable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 2.11 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Social Welfare, although Education and Healthcare are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Remarkable City of Awesome City. The average income tax rate is 51%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing, Tourism, and Pizza Delivery industries.

The roads are notorious throughout the region for their peril, the government props up questionable pizza establishments in the name of health, the government seeks peaceful forum with terrorists, and Eidolonis-made cars tend to catch fire in people's driveways. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is a problem, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Eidolonis's national animal is the Lexan Juliander, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Ducket.

Eidolonis is ranked 18th in St Abbaddon and 67,583rd in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -1 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
