The Empire of Eblan is a small, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 23 million Eblanians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.0%.

The thriving Eblanian economy, worth 1.66 trillion kochcoins a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 72,203 kochcoins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 255,576 per year while the poor average 14,728, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Eblan's national animal is the human, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Eblan is ranked 252,117^th in the world and 47^th in The Frontier of Brittania for Highest Poor Incomes, with 14,728.02 Standard Monetary Units.
