The Kingdom of Eqquals is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Supreme One with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, state-planned economy, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.019 billion Eqqualsians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New American. The average income tax rate is 46.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Eqqualsian economy, worth 64.1 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 62,859 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Strange looking men with big red noses are found hiding behind bushes and inside dustbins, foreign nations often blame poverty and terrorism on Eqqualsian selfishness, the examiners who examine examiners are being examined by examiners, and it is a silent spring in Eqquals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eqquals's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Eqquals is ranked 210,225th in the world and 3,005th in the West Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 49.5 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
