The Grand Duchy of Enkowshe is a colossal, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, ubiquitous missile silos, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 9.517 billion Enkowsheans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 76.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Enkowshean economy, worth 899 trillion woolies a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 94,470 woolies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Companies struggle to cover for the hordes of employees on parental leave, teenage male videogamers often suffer repetitive strain wrist injuries, election ballot papers are so long that unused ones are recycled as toilet roll, and science centers and state of the art laboratories are ubiquitous. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Enkowshe's national animal is the moo-cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Enkowshe is ranked 306,827^th in the world and 12,410^th in Lazarus for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring -5.48 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
