The Democratic States of Eiaou is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Martin Luther White with a fair hand, and remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 11.71 billion Eiaouans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Germany. The average income tax rate is 41.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Eiaouan economy, worth 365 trillion bitcoins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Uranium Mining, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 31,193 bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Martin Luther White has just been declared ruler of Eiaou in an international press conference, freighter lifeboats have been replaced by state of the art marker buoys so divers can recover the cargo after they sink, nude art is becoming wildly popular, and 100-year-old politicians are now a thing of the past. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eiaou's national animal is the eagle and its national religion is Unitarian Quakers.

Eiaou is ranked 267,499^th in the world and 4^th in eaiou for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -8.25 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
