“For the right to lemming!”

The Dominion of Eikashia is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its anti-smoking policies. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 782 million are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Imperial Citadel of Glory. The average income tax rate is 95%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Gambling, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology industries.

Organ donation is compulsory, scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway, waste is frequently shipped to other countries, and recruitment posters proclaim the army to be both fabulous and fashionable. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eikashia's national animal is the Monkey bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Shiny Rock.

Eikashia is ranked 827th in the region and 21,823rd in the world for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector.
