The Republic of Ekag- is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Egrodzakh with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, restrictive gun laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.297 billion Ekag are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The tiny, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order and Administration also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eghv. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.5%.
The thriving Ekag economy, worth 93.7 trillion eomvrzes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 72,245 eomvrzes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 245,029 per year while the poor average 15,725, a ratio of 15.6 to 1.
Egrodzakh has been self-declared as the Most Supreme Magnificent Overlord of Everything You Ever Saw, people who have never eaten chicken are told it tastes a bit like crocodile, all government facilities are built in the subterranean citadel of Eghv, and Egrodzakh is the self-declared God of all Ekag-. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Ekag-'s national animal is the camel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Ekag- is ranked 121,164th in the world and 3,020th in the Rejected Realms for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 70 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
