The Dominion of Economic Island is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, strictly enforced bedtime, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 529 million Economic Islanders are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Administration, Industry, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Canpa. The average income tax rate is 28.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming An Economic Islander economy, worth 55.8 trillion ENCS a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 105,426 ENCS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

People who have lived their entire lives in Economic Island are shocked to discover that they are not citizens, schoolboys trained in chivalry are encouraged to duel other boys for a maiden's hand, parents live in fear of governmental 'child protection' squads, and fixing attendance at women's matches is a matter of "when they go low, we go high... funding". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Economic Island's national animal is the Pessi and Penaldo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Economic Island is ranked 302,402^nd in the world and 126^th in Fifth Empire for Nicest Citizens, with 0.98 average smiles per day.
