The Empire of Ever Testing is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Smog Wawelski with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, sprawling nuclear power plants, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 3.28 billion Ever Testians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Industry, although Education, Environment, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Welfare and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wawel. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 43.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Ever Testingian economy, worth 638 trillion obwarzaneks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 194,650 obwarzaneks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 703,897 per year while the poor average 38,413, a ratio of 18.3 to 1.

Loudmouthed journalists are given the chop, taxi drivers seem less xenophobic these days, candidates celebrate "free speech" by spraying champagne all over anyone who shows up to a rally, and knock-knock jokes regularly get removed from websites for being too edgy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Ever Testing's national animal is the lagun, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Church of Mighty Yeast.

Ever Testing is ranked 5,082^nd in the world and 128^th in the South Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 110,950.74 Standard Monetary Units.
