The ☆Skrunkle☆ of Ebnious is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Ebbie with an iron fist, and remarkable for its teetotalling pirates, strictly enforced bedtime, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 19.273 billion Dragons 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, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Deepfall. The average income tax rate is 75.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dragon economy, worth a remarkable 2,540 trillion Ceroes 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 large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. 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 an impressive 131,837 Ceroes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume, arguments about toilet seats being left up or down get surprisingly heated, police conduct weekly raids looking for contraband cheeseburgers, and lovesick people are told 'it's not them, it's you'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ebnious's national animal is the Plurbius, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is U-Jin.

Ebnious is ranked 9,042^nd in the world and 3^rd in Argo Navis for Lowest Crime Rates, with 102.94 law-abiding acts per hour.
