The Pushy Peoples of Eniaus is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its anti-smoking policies, rampant corporate plagiarism, and labour-free parental leave. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 20.6 billion Eniausians 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, well-organized morass — prioritizes Law & Order, with Industry, Education, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Leyd. The average income tax rate is 75.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Eniausian economy, worth a remarkable 1,303 trillion Blams a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, extremely specialized black market in Woodchip Exports and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 63,287 Blams, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Strange looking men with big red noses are found hiding behind bushes and inside dustbins, the law says that all Eniausians are created equal — no matter how they were created, the big red machine has ground to a halt, and census workers struggle to account for the rapidly increasing number of citizens to tabulate. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eniaus's national animal is the elephant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Violetism.

Eniaus is ranked 322,977^th in the world and 198^th in Declansburg for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring -3.16 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
