The Queen's Royal Province of Ewa is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by the Governor with an iron fist, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, compulsory military service, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cynical population of 46.596 billion Ewans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order also on the agenda, while Public Transport and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. The average income tax rate is 42.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Ewan economy, worth a remarkable 1,686 trillion betales 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 mostly made up of the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 36,195 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Fur coats have become the latest fashion trend, the education system has gotten a recent boost in spending, thousands of cute furry kittens are trampling everything in their path (Ewa has found 1 easter egg), and wrongful arrests abound as 'criminals' blame the guy next to them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ewa's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ewa is ranked 206,805^th in the world and 1^st in Ewa for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 51.94 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
