The Olive Green of Eist is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by E Dogg with a fair hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, hatred of cheese, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 29.877 billion Eisterians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Under the Couch. The average income tax rate is 95.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Eisterian economy, worth a remarkable 4,843 trillion livers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism. Average income is an impressive 162,124 livers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

E Dogg panders to nontraditional families, all industry is owned and run by the government, birth rates have hit an all-time low, and Max Barry is this year's Miss Eist. Crime is totally unknown. Eist's national animal is the goat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Eist is ranked 290,674^th in the world and 867^th in 10000 Islands for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -41.57 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
