The Free Federation of Escapitania is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by President-Prime Minister with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, hatred of cheese, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful population of 13.966 billion Escapitanians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Freedomia Capital City. The average income tax rate is 98.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Escapitanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,859 trillion marks a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 204,750 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tourists need only sign on the dotted line to become citizens, elderly citizens regularly buy posh multimillion-mark mansions, ride-sharing often involves some passengers sitting on the roof rack, and the volume of paperwork used to complete a single environmental assessment defeats the purpose. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Escapitania's national animal is the Bald eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Escapitania is ranked 311,896th in the world and 3,691st in the West Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -855.34 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
