The Dominion of Eclipsus is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Governess Ravencroft with an iron fist, and remarkable for its smutty television, sprawling nuclear power plants, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.396 billion Eclipsians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eclipso. The average income tax rate is 74.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Eclipsian economy, worth 434 trillion Yuls a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 181,203 Yuls, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

The acceptance of acupuncture and other alternative therapies has needled the scientific community, citizens living in underground cities have developed a healthy green glow, foreign policy often involves bullwhips and leather, and the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eclipsus's national animal is the Raven, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Atheism.

Eclipsus is ranked 235,813^th in the world and 1^st in Eclipsa for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 129.97 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
