The United Socialist States of Ente is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Alexander Muller with an iron fist, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 5.578 billion Entelanders are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Leninstadt. The average income tax rate is 94.8%.
The frighteningly efficient Entean economy, worth 735 trillion Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 131,866 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The nation's counterintelligence budget is all up in the air, reassembling shredded papers is the highlight of a spy's day, foreigners must sell an arm and a leg to afford surgery in Ente, and the banshee wail foretells skies of death. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ente's national animal is the Duck, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Ente is ranked 128,138th in the world and 123rd in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 2,307.42 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
