The State of EN is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and renowned for its complete lack of public education, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 19.101 billion ENians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, although Law & Order is also considered important, while Welfare and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.5%.

The thriving ENian economy, worth 548 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is highly specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 28,729 betales, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 135,353 per year while the poor average 3,621, a ratio of 37.4 to 1.

EN has designated Westminster as its capital city, the Governor has just been declared ruler of EN in an international press conference, the government has begun a crusade against drugs, and the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. EN's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

EN is ranked 266,298^th in the world and 162^nd in Omega Prime for Lowest Crime Rates, with 40.49 law-abiding acts per hour.
