The Kingdom of Ekamatra is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Tony Jaa with an iron fist, and remarkable for its smutty television, prohibition of alcohol, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 38.096 billion Ekamatrans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, moralistic, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ekamatra City. The average income tax rate is 99.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Ekamatran economy, worth a remarkable 6,066 trillion Thai Baht a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 159,239 Thai Baht, with the richest citizens earning 7.5 times as much as the poorest.

Burial ceremonies have become as routinised as tax forms, farting etiquette is taught in schools, only fully-fledged members of MENSA are allowed to vote, and The Very Hungry Caterpillar has been banned for advocating gluttony. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ekamatra's national animal is the Elephants, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ekamatra is ranked 76,426th in the world and 3,938th in Lazarus for Most Valuable International Artwork, with 1.56 Bank.
