The Republic of Eggplant Island is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Mr President with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, frequent executions, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 2.409 billion Eggplant 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 government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Central Area. The average income tax rate is 73.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Eggplant Islander economy, worth 332 trillion Eggplant Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 137,984 Eggplant Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

Pilots always remember to send their doctors a Maxxmas card, childish pranks are no laughing matter, anti-vaxxers claim that injected children are prone to psychotic breaks when they see the 'Queen of Diamonds' playing card, and endangered bison are herded across the border to prevent them from trampling on native prairie grass. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eggplant Island's national animal is the Eggplant Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Eggplant Island is ranked 90,914^th in the world and 4,308^th in The North Pacific for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 4.95 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
