The Federated Matriarchy of Experience Eternal is a massive, genial nation, ruled by The Council with a fair hand, and notable for its ban on automobiles, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, humorless, devout population of 2.608 billion Eternalists love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alexandria. The average income tax rate is 90.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Eternal economy, worth 258 trillion Stars 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 99,035 Stars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Flash floods that dams could have controlled regularly ravage small towns in mountain valleys, 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Experience Eternal's radio stations, the 'sing-a-long with The Council' album is a popular souvenir, and many are asking why the latest naval vessel is named after Saint Bartholomeus the Many Handed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Experience Eternal's national animal is the Experience, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Solarism.
Experience Eternal is ranked 258,638th in the world and 8,624th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 15.42861512568 days.
