The Autechnocratic Republic of Equalsun Empire is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by MODI-01 with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, ban on automobiles, and soft-spoken computers. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 23.296 billion Eldenians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The enormous, corrupt government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Environment, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Modesia. The average income tax rate is 99.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Eldenian economy, worth a remarkable 5,031 trillion Lumens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 215,995 Lumens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The fate of the world literally rests on MODI-01's fingers, anything is permissible when wearing latex gloves, the nation's counterintelligence budget is all up in the air, and it's not only teenagers who mess around with fake IDs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Equalsun Empire's national animal is the Biotic, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Church of the Luminaries.

Equalsun Empire is ranked 305,171^st in the world and 11,971^st in Balder for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -909.7 on the Hayek Index.
